I have a Business/Finance undergrad. What I am wondering about is the career path to becoming a Project Manager. Any ideas on salaries from people who are project managers? What can becoming a project manager lead you to for further positions in terms of promotions.
How about becoming a Project Manager for IT and other things. Sorry if I cannot frame my question coherently, but that just goes to show how little i know and how I want to get organized.
Basically:
