I think it would be a great exercise to shadow your Project Manager(if you have one) for a while. If you don't have one, maybe just try to virtually manage the project you're working on. You'll find that the PM job is not really what you expected to be.

I'm a sysadmin and I've tried to simulate this kind of change and I found that there are a lot of bureaucracy tasks which I don't really like :). If you ask me, the proper career path has the "team lead" position as the first step, which brings you closer to a "* manager" feeling.

Good luck!!

I can feel that at work, but the PM skill is required to improve myself, maybe I don't need that skill in my work, I got some extra project out of work, I hope I can manage that well, then we may build a studio or something.

Be ready is never ready.I just want to know what I'm missing and how to get it.
