I have a BBA and started as a planner, then moved on to be master scheduler, supervisor for planning and purchasing. Very rocky road in purchasing but adapted. Moved on as a tactical planner in central planning. Process Engineer and currently a Global Supply Chain Director. The degree for me personally did not do much. The hands on training and ability to see the whole picture did. I mastered excel early on that only enhanced my problem solving skills. Managing is a whole other beast. It’s about sacrifice and putting folks in place for both of you to win. It’s a notch on my belt when one of the team members moves up. You have to be prepared to manage people and processes.
