Might I ask why you are leaving your current profession? There is tons of opportunity still around for those who have kept their skillsets up to date and are familiar with the latest technology.

Very easy and natural transition from Industrial Engineering to Supply Chain Management.

Go get an MBA to pair with your IE degree. I have a couple of friends who have done just that. Be forewarned though. Rough market out there...
