Logistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials, equipment, liquids, and staff, as well as abstract items, such as time, information, particles, and energy. The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The complexity of logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is a common motivation in logistics for import and export. This is a useful and productive field.
HR on the other hand is dealing with all matters pertaining to personnel, discipline, hiring, firing, benefits, training, payroll etc. As a profession particularly the aspect focused on hiring I find below contempt. It has been taken over by pseudo-science, hack psychology, outright bigotry, generalizations. The only innovation coming from the field is new ways to act despicably while still being legal such as forcing candidates to divulge salary histories to low-ball them, making them take ridiculous psychometric testing, refusing to hire the unemployed, screening candidates based on their credit reports. A truely asinine profession.
Of course the factors vary significantly- the position; level; time in position ; company- but I would overall say logistics has more opportunity for earning and promotion.
Logistics jobs range from clerk to C-level executive (Chief Logistics Officer). Anything above clerk is going to have better opportunity than HR, I'd think.
Logistics vary....I imagine the supply chain management guys make much....but the guys working in transport logistics(shipping companies and the people who sell the services or manage them). Pay sucked unless your a good sales guy.
I tried to break in and was so glad I didn't.....I got the impression it's stupidly saturated and kinda meh.
