Supply Chain Major Thanks Crippling Worldwide Crisis for Job Opportunities

Last Tuesday, supply chain management majors thanked barren grocery store shelves and vehicle shortages for the abundant job offers students in their department have been receiving.

“With every company struggling to meet customer demand, corporations are offering higher starting salaries to students whose degree says they can help” Grace Wanderlo, senior supply chain major said about her most recent job offer with Amazon. “But actually Walmart offered me more, so I’m not sure Amazon is a great fit for me.”

While Waterlo has barely scraped by in her SCMT classes, and may have to take another semester to complete her ISTM requirements, companies desperately continue hiring students just like her. “I also got an offer from ExxonMobil, but if the economy keeps this up, maybe I’ll just go into consulting to make more money off of the world’s problems,” Wanderlo said.
