A bachelor's degree is usually the minimum requirement for employment at the project manager level at most companies, and some colleges and universities even offer master's degrees in Project Management. These degree programs teach students the latest tools and methods available to manage multiple projects efficiently, along with the basic managerial principles that make effective project leaders. A typical curriculum will combine software training with theory-based lectures and numerous opportunities for networking among students and faculty.
Most people who work as project managers have a different title, as managing a single project may be just part of their larger occupation, and salaries can vary greatly depending on the scope of individual projects and the experience of the managers. However, almost every occupation above the entry-level requires some degree of project management, and being able to handle large and complex projects shows that someone has executive potential.
