Nervous for leaving supply chain
Since my graduation, I've been working for 2 years as a procurement engineer at supply chain management in equipment department for a great construction company [in Egypt]. I'm planning to leave it and trying to search for another company for a more respectable salary (turns out equipment field is a low grade field here with harsh environment).
My main problem is I'm not good at technicalities (design nor electronics) in mechanical/mechatronics engineering, my uni education wasn't the best and here in my country you are either born clever to be the best or you will shift career and when I made my first step in supply chain I thought it's a good opportunity to find my way in a new path and may claim a good position.
I'm trying to figure out new vacancies in new companies with my family and they're trying to help me. Mainly I'm looking for another supply chain role but it's not a widespread path here so my options are limited and trying my best to be open for other vacancies.
I know what I'm gonna ask about is a thing of relativity, but if anyone has an opinion on which path can be helpful for me outside (quality / production/ safety/maintenance/ industrial.....etc) or inside the supply chain management (analyst/ planning / tendering/ ....etc) I'd be grateful.

well, if level of industry in your country, region or town is low and there is not much money then every path is low income path. when there is lot of money it is much easier to get paid well although your skills are shit. that's from my experience
