don't forget public assitance jobs in the us, since german is a reletively common language in the US, esp. near where i live...

and, if you get desperate, there are a lot of different types of interpreters, such as legal interpreter, tour guide interpreter, etc.

possibly some high level auto engineering might be benefitial to know german, because germany has a lot of auto technologies (such as those by VW, mercedies, etc.)
hmm...
international anything actually could use german.... banker, programmer, hmm...

Okay, all the good ones have been taken...uh, let's see.

Beer Maker? (germans like beer) Or culinary artist...
Germanic historian/Museum Curator/archeologist
A yodler! (go they yodle in german?) No, seriously a musician who wanted to study in Germany.
A rockstar on tour in germany! "Danka, Danka sehr gross!"
An ombudsman -look it up. It's kinda like a free laywer and is pretty much a European thing.

Okay, most of those are stupid. :sweat:

I can think of hundreds of careers. But all of them require that you be in Germany. At least, I assume that most careers in Germany require that you speak german.

German was one of the top suggested languages for Physicists, because a large number of physicists were from Germany and consequently there is a large number of scientific papers written in German Journals. The one that any particular scientist is looking for will probobly not be translated into English therefore it is incredibly useful to take German, to understand these papers which could be critical to completeling your scientific research. Still... I took Japanese which I hear isn't very useful... but it makes me feel like a l33t n3rdxor!

Actually, Theology is a good language to have German for, given some of the brilliant minds to come from Germany on that field.

Yes. My chemistry teacher said if you were going for any type of scientific degree, German was required. Chemistry, physics, anything like that is going to necessitate German in order to read the scientific papers.
