Uh, fine I guess I'm in economics +modern languages, I'm going to finish this in June. Then I'll have to go to university or highschool (less theoretical as university).
Do you have to pick a specific direction before 18 in Germany?
Well, that depends on your previous choices. As far as I know, you could pick a specific direction at 15 already, but chances are no company will actually hire you. However, most Germans are going to school until age 18 or 19, depending on their level of education. Afterwards they'll visit either university or search for an apprenticeship. There are several other options, but it'd be senseless to just list all of them. What I said is what the majority of people are choosing to do.
What exactly do you do in "modern languages"? Tbh, I've never heard of it.

I just get an extra hour of French and English + I get 2 hours of German a week which most other directions don't get.
So you chose to pick a direction at 15 or are you already over 18? I have no idea how old you are :s

I'm 18 right now and I'll be finishing my apprenticeship this summer, a few months after I turned 19. I started it almost 3 years ago when I was 16.
And an apprenticeship, is it like a real job where you work with a company and get supported and helped by someone else or is it just school focused on the practical side, in your case IT-specialist (without courses as maths, languages, sciences,..)

Depends, there are purely theoretical apprenticeships that take place at school (but those aren't considered as a reasonable degree, as far as I know) but most of them are "real jobs" for ~60% of the time, the other time is spent at a specialised school ("Berufsschule"). At least as far as I was informed back then when I chose my "career path".
@Yusago: What's your employers focus in business? You're an application developer, aye?

Basically what snow said already, I am working normally for the most part, but there are a few days each month I am visiting a school instead.
