German Youth Warm to Defense Sector Amid Ukraine War

In Germany, young people are starting to think differently about working in the defense industry.

The war in Ukraine has made many feel that it's important to protect the country.

For the first time, arms companies are showing up at job fairs to find new workers, offering perks like help moving and money for school.

Some students, like Mika Scheid, have joined the army and want to build military equipment.

While some students are still hesitant because of ethical concerns, many believe defending Germany and its allies is important.

This shift is partly due to job losses in other fields and the country's leaders promising to spend more on the military.

Some young people still prefer jobs in health or sustainability.
