Career Outlook
The outlook for the field of Project Management is extremely bright, especially in the IT and biotech fields. Because Project Manager positions are so tightly bound with new products, projects, and growth, when the economy is up, so is the demand for PMs. When the economy is down, there is still usually growth and opportunities to be found in hot markets and industries, or in projects to restructure or increase efficiency within slower markets.
