Highest standard of living and best job markets would be Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Düsseldorf.

If I had to pick just one city/area, I would probably go with Stuttgart and BW state. I think they have the lowest unemployment and the strongest job growth. And you don't have to be in Stuttgart; somewhere like Heidelberg/Neckar area or Heilbronn would also have a very strong economy.

What's the best job to search for a non-German speaker working over there? I'm still trying to learn German but it comes really difficult to me.

I would suggest to stay in India. Germany is already awash with BWL (German for business administration) graduates and they have a poor reputation, there are lots of jokes about that profession. Germany needs experts with solid skills (engineering, IT, programming, etc.). Management, marketing, and communication are fields associated with people who lack the brains for solid disciplines.

Apart from that I doubt there is any "metropolis" in Germany, not even Berlin. Maybe you meant metropolitan area...

I doubt, it has anything to do with brains.

Not everybody in this world wants to be an Engineer or a Programmer, you know...

Besides, it's not like all Engineers have brains for other fields, which, for example, require a high level of creativity or other qualities engineers don't possess.

Well, it's a pyramid. It needs a solid foundation, and that is provided by engineers etc. Without them there is nothing more shallow disciplines such as management, marketing, and communication can build upon. The latter are more like opportunists preying on the work of others, and earning way too much for it.

"...more shallow disciplines"? You must be kidding! How old are you?

I have nothing against engineers.

But what I said in the previous post stands.

What would engineers do without other professionals? As much as their skills, knowledge and abilities are needed as much are needed qualities and abilities of other professionals. I bet, a good manager has at least as much brains as any engineer out there, if not more as there are so many unable engineers when it comes to communicate ideas (OR SIMLY COMMUNICATE, because they lack social skills), save a company from bankruptcy or find a sound financial solution to complex problems.

Yes, I said unable.

That doesn't match my experience at all. I have a lot to do with engineers due to my job. The percentage of them that lack social skills is not higher than among management, marketing or communication people. On average they seem more reasonable to me than those other people, and they do know how to communicate. The idea of the nerdy developer is a myth, not unlike that of the confused, otherworldly professor.

Anyway, a website linked to a thorough ranking of the 30 biggest German cities today:

(In German, but there are diagrams which are easy to understand.)

You must admit though that there tons of people with brains who would never want to be an engineer.

It's not like people only choose fields other than engineering if they are not smart enough to become engineers.

We're all born with different gifts and talents. I'm glad not everybody in this world has a mentality of an engineer.
