<p>Hi,
I'll be going to USC-Columbia (University of South Carolina at their main campus) in the Darla Moore School of Business. I'm in their honors program and so I'm guaranteed a spot in the International Business Major. As part of the International Business major a second major is required. I originally planned on doing GSCOM (Global Supply Chain and Operations Management) but I am not sure about the job prospects and long term viability of the major, especially since the USC isn't a big name business school. </p>
<pre><code> I am open to any of the areas of business, and have strong math skills as well as interpersonal skills. I have some experience coding, and while I can muck through it it's not my cup of tea, so I'm not sure if Information Systems Management would be my I'm also doing a program at USC that involves spending two years in China (the IBCE Program for those interested), because of this I am not to keen on accounting since I would have to take extra courses as the U.S does not follow international accounting procedures.

<p>Soooo, it boils down to this: Should I keep my major as GSCOM or should I migrate to a different field?</p>
<p>I appreciate helpful feedback, and thanks in advance</p>
<p>Unrelated side note: I know I spelled Daedalus wrong, It was on purpose. :P</p>
<p>First, USC is a big name school, half the people on this website are liars or ■■■■■■. You can get a great job out of college even if you don’t go to a prestigious school. GSCOM is a great major and is only going to get bigger as our world economies become more intertwined. GSCOM is like logistics. I am actually looking for a either a master or mba in SCM (supply chain management.) I would stick with it if you can handle the math. I know this is for an MBA but I would imagine it is the same for undergrad but it is a fairly new major a branch off of industrial engineering.

<p>Not that I am an expert, but things I have read suggest supply chain will be a strong field through the remainder of the decade. But let’s face it, we will always have to move goods. And with the global economy, to me, it make sense with the IB component too.</p>
<p>Bump! Thanks for the feedback, it’s reassuring. I’d like to hear some varying viewpoints as well so that I can better evaluate my decision.</p>

When I was doing research I found a lot of larger, well established companies that are interested in hiring SCM graduates, do you know how start-ups, and smaller companies feel about hiring? I would love to work for a company such as that but I had trouble finding statistics on that.</p>
<p>The thing about start-ups and smaller companies is they don’t really have that much of a supply chain yet if you get what I am saying. It is hard for me to be able to tell about a small business but I would imagine in the next couple of years there will be more jobs available for small businesses because it is relative new major. I can’t really speak about start-ups though</p>
