german universities there are no guarantees of jobs in the future and that is the case here to an aviation remains a fascinating industry for young people too but i think we have to face reality in the years ahead there are going to be too many people for the jobs available to anybody planning a career and evolution has to take this into account. most isn't working although the pandemic could end the dreams of an entire generation of would be pilots. of the 22 ideas broads dread distress and disappointment sure but there are exceptions e-commerce has seen an unprecedented boom and with people having 2nd thoughts about standing in line a crowd of malls trade experts believe online shopping revenue in germany will be up almost 20 percent this year my colleague feels christmas is not about presents
