I want to try to be a good Muslimah but at the same time I know that there is no chance of getting a job with a hijaab on, leave alone Niqab, here in Germany. I have rarely seen any girl in a top position who is a Hijaabi.

I wish to pursue my studies further, I'm told by people to get married and how university is a bad place to be etc. That a girl doesn't need a job as the husband will provide for her and if something happens to him his family will provide...But I don't want to be like that I want to remain independent insha'Allah.

I guess I should stop listening to all those people...
