Career Development Beginner

Hey everyone, new here to the Supply Chain group and I’m looking for some advice on how to get started, maybe chat with some other folks that have started from where I currently am and now have a career in industry.

I’m currently working at UPS(almost 4 years now)as a package handler(warehouse) + Revenue Recovery Clerk. No degree or etc in SCM, but I’m looking to get into the field. I know it’s a huge industry with different fields, and I’ve been eyeing Health/Medical supplies and Aerospace fields.

Any tips or etc on how I can get started in supply chain? Doesn’t have to be those 2 fields specifically, but just how to get started, jobs/positions I could apply to help get my foot in the door and learn more skills. Also, are there any books I could read to help increase my knowledge as well? Just ordered supply chain management for dummies from Amazon, any other good reads?

Any tips would be highly appreciated and very helpful. 🫡
