<p>It is a relatively new, field and while I know since the demand is greater than the supply, it would be easy to secure interships/jobs with that major. However, while it gets one a step ahead early on in the game, does it keep doing so? Or…I think what I’m trying to ask, is the path people with that major can take? I have been quite interested in it, but my parents pointed out their concern for instability. And because it is new, it was quite difficult to find any information about it other than from my school advisors. I would really appreciate any input on this, thank you all in advance!</p>
<p>relatively new field?</p>
<p>There are many factories and supply chains in China that need many people because they are still in the industrial stage. So, in layman’s terms its definitely an exploitable feild in China and Russia for example. You have to make sure you play your cards right because I honestly don’t find it to be the most amazing job in the US.</p>
<p>Why is it only exploitable in those countries. It is a job available in any country with natural resources and/or manufacturing since the entire concept of supply chain starts with the delivery of natural resources to distribution and ends with RTV’s. And why russia especially since their exportations are going to slow with the rising inflation of the ruble</p>
<p>^Keep up with the times, do you know how much Oil Russia is goign to export as part of Putin’s plan. Do you know how many factories and plants are run by businessmen? The idea I am trying to give is that you can reach a much higher level in those countries much faster than you can in the US even though it is possible.</p>
<p>do you realize how many other exports Russia has. Oil is the one factor that is causing inflation that is going to raise prices for every other exportable good they have leaving them defenseless. What was the one advantage to their exports, price, that was all.</p>
<p>supply chain management - deals with efficiently using the raw material that is needed for a business. Also related to the pricing of products etc… sounds like an interesting field.</p>

<p>^You do realize that Russia mainly trades with private investors and companies instead of MAINLY actual countries and open markets.(even though it is trying to do that.) Russia can exploit the secrecy and anonymity of trading as an advantage and the economy will still boom. Oil is mostly going to make the actual government itself richer and the economy more stable as a whole so the increase in prices of other export won’t hurt them nearly as bad as you think they will. Also, I am not Sakky or Mahras and I can’t just sit here and argue with you about the future of Russia. There was a two month old article about it on fortune or forbes…I honestly don’t remember look it up and you will see what I mean. You are not wrong about the inflation, but you are just not seeing the whole picture. read that article, it might have been a cover story.</p>
<p>Thank you all for the inputs and the link~~ I was told, though, as outsourcing is on the increase, the cost will mostly lie on transporting goods rather than producing them, so Supply Chain Management’s demand should be on the rise even in the US. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? Thank you all again~~</p>
