What does the cost of education have anything to do with here?

> What I paid in Germany was around $300 per semester

> In the case of my university the government spent like 2.5$ billion to extend the existing high-tech cluster

> The only thing I am not fond about Germany right now is the high taxes

Ever think those might be related?

> I don't know... is it easy to find a part time job in your field of studies in the US?

In the U.S., like the rest of the world, this is entirely dependent on what your field of study is.
