I was born in a developing country, and I am interested in studying in Germany. I'm almost done with all the procedures, and now an additional piece I have to take care of is to write a statement of purpose. I wrote it as honestly as I could right now, that I wish to study my interested subject, pursue further research and try to make a legal living there.
However, some peers and discussions online suggest to me that I shouldn't mention at all that I have wishes to live there. I find this a bit absurd as Germany seems to be actually making a loss from education and is constantly making news about wishing to hire more "Fachkräfte".
Could someone give me a justified answer on if this would be something which is unpreferable to write or not?
