Project Management is not a branch of engineering. It is a branch of bureaucracy. I work with projects and project managers a lot. I have yet to meet a professional project manager who was worth more than negative 100,000 times his salary. I also know some great project managers. But they are actual excellent experienced engineers who learned something about managing people and managing technologies along the way. There is a huge difference. The guy who knows nothing more than tracking milestones and cost variances is headed for a huge disaster [project failure or cost over-runs of factors of three or so].

Like "clean energy" stay away from this and learn a real engineering discipline.

>>Project Management is not a branch of engineering<<

You’re soooo right. They are engineers who do not know their trade but like to direct others in doing the jobs. I liken them to bureaucrats who decide who will be fired after the project is over. They all expect to get their asses kissed. They’re just members of a club. Overpaid schedulers.

Parents, you want a good future for your child? Make them study Law or Pharmacy.
