What advice do you have for someone looking to pursue Logistics & Supply Chain Management?

I am currently returning back to school, after being in the transportation industry for the last 5 years, to pursue a degree in Supply Chain. This decision was made after I sought employment as a PT Supply Chain Specialist for a well-known distributor. I analyze data, facilitate meetings with vendors, and overall manage inventory to help maintain a steady flow for our customer. This side of the warehouse is new to me, but I would like to know pointers (or advice) for this specific industry. What should I look out for, good or bad? What has worked for you? Are there associations that I should look into joining to help further my career? What do you wish someone would have told you about the industry?
