Young & looking for advice
Hello all. I am a 22 year old, 2nd year Bachelor of Commerce in Supply Chain Management student from South Africa. My father picked out this degree for me but I ended up falling in love with this field & developing a passion for it. Now that I’ve found my passion I’ve had to think long & hard about what I want for myself in this field.
What I’m hoping to achieve with this post is just general advice about the plans I have set out for myself.
So I intend to get my Masters degree when I’m done with my undergraduate. I want it to be a MBA but with a focus in data analytics. I intend to become a supply chain analyst with this degree. Although I want to do my Masters abroad, maybe USA or Australia. God willing, I’ll be able to find a scholarship. (I’d like guidance on whether this is a solid move or not, I’ve heard quite a few people say that it’s not worth getting a masters in SCM so I’m still on the fence about this)
Secondly, is it possible to live a nomadic lifestyle in this career? Probably bit of a silly question but I’ve just always been fond of travelling & I’m wondering if it’s possible to combine my passion for SCM & my fondness of travelling lol.
Thirdly, what the hell do I do after graduation? I know it’s a bit early for me to wonder considering I’m still in 2nd year but the impending doom of wondering whether I’ll be a unemployed graduate sitting at home when the time rolls around is driving me insane. What can I do in university that will set me apart from other candidates studying the same thing as me?
Thank you in advance😸
