I have recently completed my bachelor degree in CSI. Currently, I work at a small manufacturing plant where I do general IT (web development, systems, help desk); however, my ultimate goal is Project Management.
1) In your opinion, what is the better route to follow to enter PM? Administration (System Administrator) or Development (.NET)?
2) How important are certifications at a “junior” level (where I currently am in my career)? Which ones are advisable (such as MCSA/MCSD)?
3) Should I pursue an MBA or PMP or both? How much experience does one usually have before entering PM?
Thanks for your help in advance!
