Supply chain operations management career?
Asked by multifacetedaura
What can you expect with a bachelor's degree in this area? Would taking mandarin as a minor be a huge plus? Is there more of planning/math/communication involved? Is there any creativity whatsoever in this field? An answer to any of these questions or any extra info would be great!

Best Answer:
Well, getting your bachelors in this area is fine - but limiting...getting a solid business degree and taking a minor in this area will make you more marketable (in case you do not like supply chain - and it is a tough eat 'em up field)
Planning in the field - YES..it's constant.
Math, YES - budgets/expenses/etc - it's a part of daily life/headaches.
Creativity - depends on who you work for - but at best, it's LIMITED. Polices are there for a reason. Procedures too. The best you can hope for is to implement a new policy/procedure.
Got any more questions, feel free to ask - I've got lots of great experience in the field.
