I have spent the last 8 and a half years in Logistics. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I went into that field knowing zero about Logistics. In the end I came to learn quite a bit of knowledge on the rules and regulations of Logistics.
Before that I was enrolled in Ivy Tech under the Hospitality Program with the goal of achieving a business degree. I had fallen into Logistics on a whim through some friends that owned a small business. They had a position open in their office and I decided to apply for it.
Primarily I went to school to become a Phlebotomist and spent 13 years in the field. I worked in various health care settings that kept my skills sharpened. It was a very rewarding career but decided to take a completely different career path.
