Hi, right now I’m studying at Community College preparing transfer to 4-year univ as industrial engineering. (I’m done half much of my major prerequisites.) I searched schools, and only Berkeley offers IE among UCs. I considered Cal Poly Pomona and CSU Eastbay, but they have different application systems, so I want to study at UC. If I study only for UCB, I wouldn’t be able to make sure the possibility of my transfer, so that I’m considering to change my major to Business. If I change it to business, I want to study Business Information Management at UCI, or Business at UCLA.

Recently, I talked with my dad. What he says is that since I’ve done my major prerequisites according to engineering, finish it and try applying with IE major. (including out-of-state schools) And, if you couldn’t get any offer, then start prerequisites for business major. I agree with him, but it can make my transferable units be more than 100.

What I really want to do in the future is supply chain manager in Logistics. It could be other job, but I want to work for logistics between countries.

This Fall, I’m going to apply to UCB as IE, UCI as Material E, and some out-of-state univ. as IE major.

1. What do you think with my overall situation?

2. Is there anyone working in Logistics? Does major matter to work there? (If it does, i'm thinking M.A.)

3. Any comment please.
