I graduated with a Bachelors in SCM in 2021. After university, I worked as a Production Planner for 1 year and 8 months. I left that job and took another Planner role, but left shortly after as it didn't feel right for the long run. Since then, I've been unemployed and carefully considering my next step. I’m unsure if planning is for me anymore. I've been applying to buyer roles but haven't heard back, likely due to lack of direct buying experience.
What other roles should I consider applying?

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are. Liberal judges see the Constitution as guidelines for the court to interpret and then cement things into law that they deem reflect the current mood of the day, essentially serving as a tool for policymaking outside of the legislative branch. Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
