Amina!! Editors, specially academic editors like me make really good money. I don't know about the editors who are solely into fiction but as more people coming into research field, editors are doing great. Besides editing, I do write weekly feature stories , update my blog regularly, review books, write sponsored reviews and content for websites.

You seem to have lot in your mind. I don't know properly about Germany, but the scenario is same everywhere. Too much candidates and fewer seats.

Do let me read your "project". I love to read and new projects always fascinate me. All the best for everything sweety!!

Maybe I should consider becoming an editor, My old English teacher was pretty shocked when I told her that I wasn't panning on studying literature in uni, anyway 🤣 And you also have a blog? Nice! I once thoughts about starting one, myself, but then again, I have no idea how exactly this works, lol.

In regards to aspiring doctors, yes, the situation is the same, everywhere. Though, getting into psychology seems to be fairly easy in most countries from what I have found out - except, of course, Germany It's simply a popular field around here; people make good money.

Chalo, let's see what my future holds for me.

If you are interested, I could brief you in on what I was planning 😉 It's supposed to be a fictional work digging into the human psyche, social and cultural norms of a country as much as beliefs and ideals - all done through two people, their families, pasts and people surrounding them. Mostly.

I agree, Dplee! I mean, look at myself: I am originally from Pakistan [well, not my ancestors, but, yeah...] and I have never cared much for the country, my picture of it tainted by (Western) media and the perspective with which many people here view Eastern countries. Now, I am discovering the country and culture for myself, I see its beauty, I see the people in a different light - it has some serious problems, no denying that, but it has many good things, as well. Yes, we are not like the Western countries - but why is that bad? Why should everyone follow their standards and examples (not that it has done any good to those poor countries who were forced to/tried to be forced)? Every country has their own culture, value and beauty, and it has its right to choose for itself how it wants to develope - I wish humans would start to respect this.

So, one of my protas will be along these lines - battling her prejudices and learning to love a heritage she's never cared much, for 😉 But I might tell you more in a PM, sometime.

And sure! I'd love to have a look at it 😃

@Bold... Amina, if you can manage to grab the right publication agent, your book will be an asset to the present global situation. I mean look at Malala, people often forgot that she belongs to Pakistan. Every country has its own good or bad qualities. Regarding the heritage, it is often same everywhere. It is a touchy subject too. Do PM me whenever you feel to do it. BTW, I PMed you my blog address!!
