    Well in procurement from a multinational point of view any degree will work ,I have seen Bus studies to Bio-engineering and everything in between,I myself am in this industry with a BSc Computer Science and MBA.
    Without experience though entry level jobs will be circa 22-25K.

    Experience with ERP and MRP systems such as Oracle and SAP a big advantage as they are the big two in Ireland ,although JD Edwards and Baan will have a base here as well.

    APICS qualifications are always welcome in Supply chain and with the evolution of buyer roles being combined with planner roles of late will be a big help.

    This information is not as relevant for retail wholesale but more for Procurement behind a manufacturing or distribution enterprise.

    Thanks for the very detailed reply. I would be willing to start at the very bottom to gain experience in this sector. I realation to the apics, is there any part time courses that are well respected?
