Do you think that the East Coast or the West Coast is better to work in logistics? One has Asia, one has Europe and Africa. Any advice on where to turn?

It really depends on what type of logistics you are looking for, as each coast presents its own unique advantages when it comes to working in logistics.

It really depends on what your goals are for working in logistics, as both the East Coast and the West Coast have their advantages. On the East Coast, you have easy access to Asia, allowing you to easily partner with suppliers and manufacturers as well as explore new markets. On the West Coast, you have closer proximity to Europe and Africa, allowing for better trade ties within those regions. It might come down to whichever coast is more convenient for you or where your existing contacts are.

It will depend on where your company needs to ship goods most often and what type of logistics services they need. It would be best to research both sides and decide based on your specific needs and preferences.

So I’ve begun an online certificate program, in hopes it will give me a leg up, as my degree is in a different field. My question is has anyone done the same? And how do they feel it helped? And any other tips on breaking into full time editorial.
