I'd also echo the suggestion to think hard about whether you really want to be a Project Manager or are you just following what you think is a traditional 'career path'.

I became a Project Manager right out of college after completing my CS degree and did it for ~8 years. I believe I was pretty good at it, but I don't think I ever once really enjoyed it. I spent all my free time coding, and eventually realized I probably should have been doing it as a job all along. I then spent about a year self-teaching, moved half-way around the world to San Francisco, and found a job that, more often than not, I actually enjoy going to every day.

I'm sure some people really enjoy Project Management, but each of the three points in the parent comments ring extremely true for me, so for now at least I'd much rather be coding!
