Good advice, but not having a degree or showing work experience might make it hard to get the freelancer visa. I would also recommend the "preparation for study visa" which gives you two years for taking German language courses and you can always change to the freelancer or work visa before the two years is up. [1] for the OP, without a degree you can still get the work visa if you're hired by a German company. > what's it like out there comparing to America? Main daily difference is you don't need a car. Find a job and go there. You need to experience it yourself to really know what it's like. 1. https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/305156/en/ https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/305156/en/
