Project managers are natural interpreters and connectors. They’re gregarious people who are equally comfortable working with a company’s visionary leadership and its on-the-ground doers. They help leadership understand those on-the-ground realities. And they help staff work together toward the company’s shared goals.
A degree in project management can lead to a variety of industries including finance, technology, construction and health care. According to the Project Management Institute, the median U.S. salary for project managers is $116,000.
