Supply Chain Management

<p>Are any of you going for this degree or know someone who is or did get a degree in supply chain management? Is there a market for this? Son has an interest in it and was just curious. Would love to hear some feedback.</p>

<p>Definitely a market, but one not well understood by some schools I think. Make sure your school’s program is recruited for it. I think some schools have just started their SCM programs and thus even if the school is good you might not be well advised to be a guinea pig for them.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I recently retired for the Oil and Gas Industry where my speciality was Supply Chain Management. I can say from personal knowledge that a degree in SCM is a desired
credential in the oil and gas industry. Companies like ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, ConocoPhillips and others look favorably on such a degree to enter their SCM departments. There is a very good future for this discipline in the Oil and Gas Industry, at least as far as the foreseeable future. Big bucks, enjoyable, and great retirement benefits.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your input. It will be interesting to see what area in business my son will decide on when the time comes.</p>
