Age: 22
Location: Philadelphia Suburbs
Job: Warehouse Supervisor
Salary: 19/hr
Duties: Managing high school dropouts, managing new material, damaged, and WIP inventories, process improvement

Thoughts on economy: In my area it's pretty good in general. In particular, my major (supply chain from a school highly ranked for it) is in demand currently so I should have a relatively easy time finding jobs. However the pay is just alright, so I'm trying to figure out how to optimize my position. I'm interested in obtaining a customs broker license to differentiate myself. Anyone have experience with anything related to customs brokering?

Advice for young'ns: If you're in business school considering supply chain know that it can be a bit more hands on than things like accounting or finance. I spend most of the day on the warehouse floor dealing with men twice as old and half as intelligent as me. Sometimes I feel embarrassed about this but ultimately I think experience with both white and blue collar workers will become a bankable skill.
