How are grades calculated where you are? Do you use GPA or some other metric? Can you get a copy of your transcript, not for us, but for your own information on where you actually stand academically? That might help you figure out not only what your strengths and weaknesses are academically, but which subjects to pursue and schools to apply to.
As far as I know, whether I hold European citizenship or not, is immensely important to how feasible it is to work abroad[and maybe even to study]. Seeing how I might have to work for a while, to save enough in order to support myself while studying, this is kind of important - I am merely aknowledging that I have it, though, so there's no problem there.
This is exactly why I didn't include anything but vague information about my grades. I don't have that information readily available in front of me, as yet. Thanks for the tip though, I'll get on calculating my GPA as soon as I possibly can. But concerning what my strenghts and weaknesses are, I definitely don't need my own grades to tell me that - at least I don't, I'm sure others might [have]be[en] in different situations[/different systems of educations]. I will definitely not decide on which schools to apply to or what subjects to pursue based on what I did great in school at. This is redundant info, for that specific purpose.

Our public Universities (Austria) don't charge for attending. I think there's a limit on how many foreign students may attend though. It varies from from faculty to faculty, so it would be helpful to know what kind of education you had in mind.
Hey, thanks! I've got relatives living&working over there. I might go and work there for a year, actually, and also intensively learn the language - even if I decide on Germany, in the end. But I may even still consider Austria over Germany for school, I'm not sure yet. I did live in Austria for a very short while, but I never even visited Germany. I actually even went to school there.
Literature/Philosophy, Law/Economics, Neuroscience/Computer Science. Any of these would be fine, I guess. That's in order of personal preference.
