They were training to become higher education teachers (Everybody learns French and German to the point of fluency in Luxembourg). But I agree that job openings there are rarer than the offer of people with these degrees.

I can remember joking with some gallows humor that companies were looking for 20-year-olds with 30 years of work experience.

Seriously though, sometimes that seems the only possible way to some of the job postings. They don't want older persons, but want heaps of experience only oder persons can provide. Sometimes I wonder how those companies even can find anybody to hire.

Understood. But if most people are fluent in both languages in Luxemborg it seems a little "pointless" to get a master on it as it seems not like so many people would be interested in paying for special classes on these subjects.

You need those degrees for the job. Without them, you can't become teacher for the respective languages. It's a governmental requirement.
