At the end of August of this year I would like to move to Frankfurt. A few weeks/months later my Chinese husband will join me. I am a German citizen but I grew up in England. My native language is English but I speak German almost fluently. I only struggle with some very professional, difficult German words. I studied Chinese up to Intermediate level in a university in Tianjin. I can speak the language very well, although I only did a general course and I don't have a degree. For the last two years I've been working as an English teacher in a training school here in China. I also have TEFL. My husband's German is still very basic but he can speak English very well. He studied Marine Engineering in college. He has a qualification equivalent to an associate's degree in the US or a diploma in the UK. However, the job that he has been doing is entirely different to his major. Since he graduated three years ago he worked in International Trade, selling natural casings to European companies. What kind of jobs can we do in Frankfurt with our experience and qualifications? I know Frankfurt is expensive but will we earn enough money to be able to live? Thanks in advance for any input....
