What advice do you have for someone looking to pursue Logistics & Supply Chain Management?
I am currently returning back to school, after being in the transportation industry for the last 5 years, to pursue a degree in Supply Chain. This decision was made after I sought employment as a PT Supply Chain Specialist for a well-known distributor. I analyze data, facilitate meetings with vendors, and overall manage inventory to help maintain a steady flow for our customer. This side of the warehouse is new to me, but I would like to know pointers (or advice) for this specific industry. What should I look out for, good or bad? What has worked for you? Are there associations that I should look into joining to help further my career? What do you wish someone would have told you about the industry?

Should I go for a APICS cert before I graduate?
Hello all, I am currently in my senior year pursuing a BS in SCM. I have been rejected from multiple internships and I’m wondering if it’s because I am not at a top school for SCM. To help me out with job prospects once I graduate, I’m thinking of paying for the ASCM CSCP cert and begin working on it now, so I can have it done by the time I graduate. Is this a good idea? Will it help my job prospects or will my degree be enough? I want to graduate and hit the ground running!
My degree is supply chain management, is it worth it to pursue a masters?
My degree is supply chain management. Is it worth it getting a masters? how much salary increase are we talking? Is it better to go up the corporate ladder and secure a managerial position. Everyone is telling me to get a masters but I am a person that genuinely hates school. Always did. I'm not worried about the money because eventually I will find a way to make big bank. I just feel lately that a supply chain degree alone without a masters is like useless. Also I need top marks in all of my courses if I want to do masters and to be honest I just want to pass and relax and not worry about getting 90's and 80's.
