You are correct about the state of German science-affairs, which is why I might be willing to move to the US if that was needed to pursue my career - although I don't know how different the grant-grabbing structure for psychology really is in America. That country is a disgrace on so many levels nowadays that it really would be a hard call for me to move there, but it still gets the most and best science in psychology (and I think also in general) done. I wouldn't be surprised to find that I could pursue many psychology-paths there that simply wouldn't be available to me in Germany.
