Does the job you want to do require it? If so then yes, If not then it may be a waste of your time and money.

Hi Shelly,

I have responded to your questions a few times, but I found this particular one quite interesting as I was in a similar situation some years ago. As a mechanical engineer, with extensive experience in reliability engineering, I wanted something different, as I sort for a MSc education. Supply Chain sounded appealing to me as, within my role in FMCG, I coordinated procurement and logistics functions at some point. Also, career "progress", from what I observed, was moving increasingly towards strengths in data mining, analysis, interpretation and application. And I was still keen on Engineering! I searched for a few MSc courses and went for Advanced Mechanical Engineering, but took up a few options within supply chain management and project management.

Thankfully, it was no extra cost for me (the optional courses), but it was more hard work. Luckily, I completed the MSc course with a distinction. I have pursued a PhD since then, however, prior to the PhD, I worked primarily within Supply Chain, and I have enjoyed it since then. My approach could be something you could look at, however, you could make more inquires on this subject.

Cheers! Oke.
