Have you ever faced unemployment or long term unemployment before?

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.

I understood before hand that you need that qualification to teach those languages. What I said is that since the country naturally have a good knowledge of those languages, with most of the population being proficient then probably there isn't many job openings on it.

But that is the thing on doing what you like, but market not needing it at the moment. They will end up finding that job if they keep looking while doing other stuff (and certainly can apply overboard).

The employment system is designed that only those who are normal and are of sound body and mind are deemed worthy of employment.
I have always been unworthy of employment and I never got a single job interview after completing my accounting degree 10 years ago. 

I would still be doing a low paid store clerk role if I stuck it out and did not quit to do an accounting degree on welfare.
I took huge gamble many years ago and I ended up unemployable. The manager even said to me you are unlikely to ever find work again. He was right and that was 10+ years ago.
One mistake has ruined my life. Never leave a job without a back up job or no prospects of finding future employment.

Therapy failed me after 4 years of doing it between 2010 to 2014. I could never get a single job back then not even unskilled job in retail/store clerk. Those words that manager said still haunt me and cut to my soul. I am unemployable, unworthy of employment.

Would you hire someone that isn't of sound mind to work for you? Companies take a lot of liabilities for their employee, so hardly they would hire someone that could put then on a dire situation. Unless you are talking about small quirks and deviations.
