I was blown away after I saw what kind of people do this job in the UK. We had 30 people working in Hamburg and 28 of them finished university.

Ya big deal. Everyone in Germany has a degree. I met some of the most stupid people with Master's degrees there. The Professors in the humanitarian sciences (it's mostly a load of nonsense anyway) desperately want students just to keep the funding going. It's a sham.
Congrats anyway. And nice salary ;)

?
12% in Germany do have a degree. That is not everyone. I don't want to brag about it, but it is not the norm.

*rolls eyes*
Oh please. Those statistics are distorted. Your sample space should only be the 25 - 35 year bracket.
Of course the percentage is much lower for old people. And sure, not everyone has a degree, but practically every single person I met when I was there had a degree. Well, except for my cousin-in-law who's a Lufthansa pilot (no idea how that pot smoker managed that).
*googles even though lazy...picks first hit...*
''on an international basis Germany is in the top group. With regard to doctoral students as well Germany is in a top position''

U mad bro? Jealousy is bad my friend...
Anyway congrats to Dirty, with that salary you're going to live like a king in Germany :)

Why would I be jealous? I've got a degree in Theoretical Physics, another in Accelerator and Nuclear Science and am doing my Master's in Nuclear Physics. I'm also on a freeride scholarship with pocket money and get paid as a part time lecturer.
If anything, he's jealous of me. I'm from Cape Town you see, and every German that exists apparantly wants to come live here. I have no idea why, but there are Germans everywhere. (not serious here)
The above two points aside,
I married a German lady and my experience that the majority of young people from Germany undergo tertiary education is based on that. Her entire family. All her friends. Her cousins and their friends. All the young people I met in Berlin. The THOUSANDS of Germans who constantly pour into Cape Town... etc. all
Apart from that, I congratulated him on the nice salary. I don't see how you could label me as jealous.
