Abstract
This proposal is intended to inform you and educate you on the many benefits that are
associated with choosing project management as your career choice after completing high
school. Choosing to become a project manager either independently or working for a
company has many benefits. Project managers do very limited physical work but instead
do most of their work using their brain to solve problems that can occur during a project,
they will lead a team and make sure start and deadlines are met to satisfy the clients.
Project managers will plan, coordinate, and execute strategies that will yield a quality
product or service in the end. There are many responsibilities that a project manager will
be in charge of, tasks will be different with each project and there is a minimal chance that
projects will be alike therefore reducing the repetition of doing the same thing over and
over again as in many jobs is a rarity in this field. Having such important responsibilities,
is part of the reason the position also pays great. The starting project manager will average
between $55k to $70k yearly, with the more experienced project managers averaging at
approximately $111k a year and the most lucrative project managers reaching $215k a
year.

background. Here are my results, After giving the survey to members whom I am currently
