<p>Read the initial post...and I have a few comments:</p>
<p>1) Your ability to lead and complete large tasks goes a long way into becoming a manager.</p>
<p>2) You don't need an engineering management degree to qualify.</p>
<p>3) PMP Certificates may help...but you still need #1 (above)</p>
<p>4) Reading is what will KEEP you employed. I cannot speak about all engineering areas but in the software/I.T. arena, Borders Bookstore is your best friend.</p>
