Thank you very much. I'll proceed with the Skilled worker route.

ZiggyZiggy:
Even though you apply for the opportunity card with your degree, you don’t have to find a job that matches your degree exactly. What matters is whether:

- You’re qualified for the role based on your skills and work experience.
- The employer is willing to hire you based on those qualifications.
- The job is classified as skilled and eligible for a Skilled Worker Residence Permit or a Blue Card

Exceptions: A Blue Card might require an educational background in the field, and people who want to work in regulated fields (medicine, law, etc) also require an educational background

Any one? Help please

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the helpful info shared here!

I’m looking into the Chancenkarte, but I have a bit of a dilemma.
I have a B.Sc in Animal and Environmental Biology (Zoology), but I switched careers and have been working in Marketing for the past 5 years.

I understand that I could apply through the skilled worker route (once I get ZAB recognition, since my exact degree isn’t listed), but I’m wondering: would I be expected to find a job related to my degree?

Or would it make more sense to go the points-based route, since it allows me to count my work experience and better reflects my current career path?
