Samarkand It is not uncommon for people to find themselves working in a field for which they have not undergone formal training. With a degree in Communication Studies, I never expected to work in logistics. But that's what I was challenged to do in 2005. I was offered a contract with a leading logistics firm providing military support in Uzbekistan. It was an incredible experience with many peaks and valleys. Find out how to achieve more than you ever imagined possible by being persistent, working hard and staying until the job is done.
