I don't say much about myself on here but finally something good has happened. I got accepted to grad school, I'm going back to get my Master's in Supply Chain Management/Logistics and then a job that I like. So glad that I only have to spend a few more months at a job I hate until classes start. Can't wait to celebrate with some brews this weekend.

Cheers,
Neal

what have you been doing that you disliked so much?
what kind of job does one get with a masters in supply chain management?

I work for a large mutual fund company on the Pension Benefit side, right now I do pension calculations which is boring as fuck.

As far a supply chain management its a good field right now with what I think is interesting work. It's also a pretty wide ranging field. But essentiall supply chain management deals with the end to end production of goods or services. So from purchasing raw materials to the production and shipment of goods.

This is a pretty good site with some good info. http://www.careersinsupplychain.org/what-is-scm/whatscm.asp

I will probably get a job as an analyst or procurement manager after the program ends. There is some opportunity cost since I will have bills and loans and other than an internship I won't have much income for two years. but the average salary after graduation for my program makes it worth it for me.

It's always better to be doing you something you actually like instead of working a shitty job you hate just to pay the bills. Good luck with school!
