2. My Dream Job
R&D , Renewable Energy (RE) Department
“Every morning whenever we wake up we see work as burden, full of difficulties, but imagine
what it would be like if we couldn't wait to get back there.”
 I see myself in 2022 as Manager of Renewable Energy
department dealing with lot of innovative and sustainable
project especially in developing countries where Energy
demand is going to be very high.
 Todays about 16 % of global energy consumption comes
from Renewable Sources and it is estimated that it will
reach 20 % of total energy with an increase of minimum
25 % overall energy consumption in 2020.
 Consumption from RE sources may increases a lot with
an advancement in technology or an increase in
efficiency like more absorption of heat in Solar panels ,
more usage of Geothermal especially in desert areas etc.
