Why aren’t degrees in SCM more popular?

It's not really the "sexiest" career if that makes sense. We're not like marketers directing massive campaigns, doctors saving lives, or engineers designing the next big thing

Our role doesn't really get much exposure in popular media or in everyday conversations. No one's ever raving in the news about some hotshot supply manager

there's too many more advantages with getting other degrees. it's much easier to change careers into supply chain vs getting a supply chain degree and transitioning into something else. Speaking as someone who studied chemistry and worked at companies where almost none of the people got supply chain degrees. Just from experience, most studied engineering, finance, business.

tbh I would never suggest supply chain degrees for anyone just because it locks you in more to a specific path as opposed to other degrees. it's hard to decide if supply chain is your calling until you work in it for a while.

Pretty certain I will be fired or asked to quit if I can’t pass a licensing exam in a few weeks as it’s my final try. I’m just a horrible test taker and work life balance + studying hasn’t been great. I don’t want to lose my holiday bonus & am nervous about the current job market if I was fired. I just want to have back up options in case the exam doesn’t go my way. What would you do in my scenario?
