  "account": "Louisa Tröger, a 24-year-old student at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, is struggling to find a job despite her excellent education. She, like many young people, is feeling frustrated and uncertain about her future. A recent study found that one in five 14- to 29-year-olds in Germany is considering moving abroad, but Tröger doesn't see that as an option. The job market is highly competitive, with many qualified candidates vying for a limited number of positions. According to a Stepstone study, the number of entry-level positions available has decreased significantly, with a 45% drop in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the five-year average.",
  "summary": "At the Frankfurt School, high potentials are just about to start their careers. The world should be open to them. Or do old promises no longer apply, even to the most privileged?",
