@heyheni 3 semesters left

@Azoth128 so if you quit now you'll loose very much.
If you stay for 1.5 year you'll gain work experience with outdated tech which as a contractor you'll earn big bucks later. And thanks to your future degree you'll be able to demand 1000€ more a month.
So yes talk to your boss ask for 300€ more but have your argumentation ready why he should pay you more.
Or you ask to work less in order to find a new income stream like freelancing with your newly acquired web dev skills.
that's the very reason why you always should pay your education on your own - freedom. -
@heyheni thank you. I kinda overreacted.
I'm going to prepare myself for the conversation with my boss.

Everything is going as planned
Hey guys, thanks for your attention. (excuse me for bad english)
currently I study IT dual at a private university wich costs 550€ each month. The company i'm working for pays the university and i got a pretty decent salary at the first place. After the 4th semester the system is changing to extra-occupational -> full time work + university. tbh the contract i got is kind off bad (1800€ excluding study costs). If I don't accept this offer and look for another job i have to pay back all the money the company spend (24*550€).
The company i'm currently working for is very little (4 devs including me) and is developong monolith old Delphi apps. yeees.. Delphi. It isn't really funny to program in that shitty IDE. Anyway, the programms doesn't follow any design patterns like MVC. Our biggest project is running on Delphi 5 (from 1995). Don't get me wrong, the co-worker are nice people and it's really nice to work with them, but the technology is not existent. We just havn't the time to refactor/rewrite a giant codebase.
I guess i could get a job as Java dev, cause I mostly fullfill the skills of job offers, except the completed studies. I learned things like JavaEE, Java Web Technologies and Angular 5 too. Furthermore i'm currently learning Microservice with Spring in my free time. Of course I used nothing of these in practise.
Do you guys got any advise for me? Should I argue for a better sallary, or should i get myself another job? Tbh I don't want to leave my coworkers.
