I have a few questions to ask about your future

Will you be able to find a job when you graduate?

More to the point, what will you do if you don’t find a job?

Stay tuned. You’re about to find out.

Did you there is a Happiness Advantage?

How can you find happiness in your work life?

Observe: Another big challenge is global inequity

So, what’s the best way to predict the future?

Invent! For now, I’d like to focus on transportation

For sustainable mobility, there are many alternatives in play

Moving to renewable energy is by far the most economical Estimated costs of fossil & nuclear energies (US $) Petroleum Natural Gas Coal Electricity Sum per year (ignoring external costs!) 3 350-4 475 B$ 550-830 B$ 150-300 B$ 1 490-2 150 B$ 5 000–7 750 B$ Sum 2010-2030 (+ 20% rise) 200 000 B$ Sum to replace world’s energy with 100 % renewable energies by 2030 100 000 B$ half!
