Work at Oktoberfest?

nope - at least one of your parents had to be German at the date of your birth and then it depends on if you apply for citicenship within a certain deadline (ask the nearest German consulat)

let's be realistic - being a waitress at octoberfest is not an option - even as German you would need great connections to get one ( you make thousands of Euros within a very short time - guess how many German students would die for this job) - they don't hire newbies , many of their waitresses work on other beer festival and have experience

Your best bet are Irish or British bars - they always hire English speakers

look at it from a business side - companies tend to hire illegals when they have only small profit margins ( \most bars) - but not when they have huge margins and the whole world is seeing their employees (= octoberfest) - if it has to be the octoberfest, there are lots of other less fancy jobs (cleaning etc) you might have a chance to get , but they won't pay a fortune

LOL....Sorry Keimbeg ....Wasn't talking to you . Ciao TLov. Study Hard . If Granms was born in Germany I think you got a pretty good chance Go to the German Embassy Web Site. Ciao Tchuss Peace.

sorry to correct you - grannie won't do it - German citizenship law is way stricter than other countries

until the early 70s a child did not even became automatically German when only the mother was German

Well you should Know best then Huh.Hope those American MBA Prof.'s don't corrupt your mind....Rienhold..:-}

I looked into the same question as a colleague of mine was in the same situation (German and Austrian grandparents, but parents were US citizen ) doesn't work - don't give advice about legal systems you obviously have no clue of

and 20 years ago even the weather was better and cows were happier....

"The same USA'ers that have all those rules are the ones helping you rebuild your overly 'wet' country"

Absolutely pi**ed myself laughing when I read that. You're about 50 years out of date on that one....

Why?What'd The US. do in Thailand in 1957?I'm not informed on US Goverment interventions in Thailand 50 years ago.. for what the BloodLess Coup?, But being French? or English? *ssr maybe you are?

The topic is about employment in Germany so can we stay with that rather than branching out into a history of the world since WW2...

thankyou

It seems nice until you realise that you can't travel, I mean really travel, get to know people and places, 28 countries on 90 days :S.
