Project Management:Is it a good career choice?

Project management professional is a lucrative career option, but it is also an unusual one. In fact, I haven't met many people who desire to work on projects and then retire as a project manager. I haven't seen many people chose project manager as a job because they enjoy it or want to do it for the rest of their lives. However, it is still a common job option for many people throughout their professional lives.

Many people regard a job as a project manager as a springboard to higher positions and management. Few people consider it as a viable career option. As I consider it today, there might be a variety of reasons:

1.      In many businesses, project management is not regarded a distinct field.

2.      It's possible that it's unique to the nation in which I live, or that it's a global occurrence.

3.      In most businesses, the project manager has little or no power.

4.      Rather of being a game-changer, the Project Manager is considered as a coordinating function.

How many of you will answer that all you know about project management is what I know? Is it true that firms only recruit skilled project managers and that this is the only ability they seek for? There are a few, but I can't seem to find many. One of my recent Middle Eastern clients was certain that they just wanted exceptional project managers, and it was the only expertise they wanted on the table. There are no technical or additional skills required. They've observed how a smart project manager can save time and money while also reducing mental stress.

How many companies provide project managers a roadmap to follow until they retire? Does this make sense to you? There is a plethora of project management professional educational degrees on the horizon - enterprises need it, but they haven't completely accepted it yet.

Many valid questions have been raised. However, the issue remains: "Is it a good professional choice?"

Today's industries have progressed from the "Sunrise" stage to a more "Matured" stage, with the goal of giving more bang for the buck. We'll be regarded more in the approaching years if we accomplish our jobs efficiently and correctly without making mistakes.

Furthermore, today's leaders of many companies are aware of the harsh reality that creating a miracle is God of tiny things, and so are aware of the ramifications of best practises and strategy.

Third, the economy in this region of the globe is truly improving, and there is a sense of enthusiasm about new things, whether it is entrepreneurship or infrastructure. According to PMI Certification Talent magazine's figures, 17.3 million project management positions would be generated in India and China alone by 2022.
