Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

Ultimately, if you major in supply chain management, you're probably most excited about the prospect of a high-starting salary that only increases as your experience grows. Few people, somewhere around a quarter of all undergraduate majors, go on to get a higher degree, which suggests that it's pretty easy to score a job right out of college.

Positions in supply chain management are plentiful right now; it's a growing field, so odds are you'll be able to find something to keep you financially comfortable. The low end of salaries in the field hover around $45,000—much higher than most college grads.

Don't throw your hat in the air just yet, though—job satisfaction among those in the supply chain management realm is only 44%, lower than even the 25th percentile of job satisfaction in the U.S. You might be able to make a lot of money, but the old saying (yeah, you know the one) still rings true.
