<p>Working in a non-logistics role in a company known for logistics does not mean you work in “logistics”. It’s like claiming that you work in medicine because you’re a bookkeeper for a doctor’s office. </p>
<p>There are many people hired into the base logistics positions (drivers, dispatchers, forecasters, etc) without a degree in industrial engineering or supply chain management (the most common degree I’ve seen for forecasting is a B.A. in Art History). But, by far, these are the low paying operations positions with a low ceiling.</p>
<p>If you want to get into the strategic supply chain work, you need a degree in the field.</p>
