Answer
Hi and Good day

Its pretty nice to know that you are looking at taking up a logistics and scm course in future. Considering your education level currently, its pretty early to take up a decision. Would advise that you have a strong UG degree in Sciences/ Engineering/ IT etc which will give you a strong foundation and understanding. Post the same, you need to look at specialising in logistics and scm and then move forward. And the scope of opportunities is unlimited in this space which is growing and becoming more organized and for the right kind of qualifications and expertise, the jobs are always available.

Trust have covered everything and wish you the very best

Thanks
