IS nursing still in high demand as a career ???
YES! I am a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and I hear about the shortage all the time. One of the reasons is because we are so low on nurses now that there is not enough to go around, therfore the nurses that we do have have to work very long hours for days. A lot of them are really getting burned out because of the demand from their jobs. It is terrible really.
Supply chain management career?
ehhh, here is my opinion. if you love it, great. keep that a big consideration. companies usually sophisticated enough to have supply chain focus are those whose products are more commoditized, or basically their margins are low and industries are pretty mature (autos, chemicals, etc). while you can make a decent living, you won't get rich, and it helps to have a degree from more established university. you will always be a piece of overhead, at best justifying your cost savings as some sort of money maker for the company. its not ideal to justify your career like this, but a lot obviously do. If you want to be in accounting, shoot for a top auditing or consulting firm. At least you have a shot to bring in business, and to those who do money potential is limitless. Of course, being a corporate accountant is a necessary evil but still adheres to the point i made above about being overhead. If you can add value and bring in business for anyone in this country, you have the potential to make a lot of money and have a good career.
