General and Operations Manager Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
There is so many opinions out there about what the difference is between these two and which one has more oppurtunities and so on. I would love to know what the most direct difference is between these two fields, they seem so similar. Obviously the name Operations Manager hints at managing, but to me it seems like it is a more business-like approach to industrial engineering.

Basically I'm a double major with these 2 degrees and will be graduating and was wondering what the best opportunities were. I would like to make a good wage, but I am having trouble marketing myself in a way which I can command a higher wage because of my 2 degrees. Basically the essence of these degrees combined boil down to- stick me in your supply chain and I will provide more efficiency. Can anyone think of job titles though? Thank you.
