Leveraging German citizenship for Education/Career
#1
This feels maybe a little crass as I was naturalised under Article 116(2), which is effectively a restitution programme for the descendants of holocaust victims/survivors (direct ancestor was done in under the period of you-know-who for being a political dissident). 

But I am seriously wondering how to gain some geographic, educational, and career advantage out of my second citizenship. Apply for a PhD in Government at the Hertie School (I anticipate rejection as the most likely outcome) or a comparable institution in Germany or a nearby country? Teach English in a neighbouring country (already applied)? Enlist in the Bundeswehr (I wish, but I don't speak German, yet). 

What are some hidden advantages of my second citizenship that I am missing?
