Hi,
With your IT knowledge, it is better for you to start working as Procurement expert in many company related to IT field like hp, Dell,......as you can consult your customer - company engineers on what you should buy and how to make use the best of it and esp you can have more negotiation power as you know clearly the specification. With your value experience and your MBA degree, you will go much further in SC.

However, most of all you have to love what you will do. That is the most important factor in your career path.

Wish you enjoy your work.

Hey,

How do we decide if what I love and do right now would still hold true say 5 years down the line?


Thats the bigger question...

I agree!

I guess the best way to start with it is to identify, what exactly a typical career path in SCM would encompass..

If we know where and what the prospective candidate's life is going to be through....it would help us better decide upon whether or not he/she likes it.
