    would an MSc or MBA secure this.

    this is what i am questioning at the moment.
    An MSc might if you didn't have any other qualifications. I think they'll only take you on an MBA if you have some kind of managerial function already and you have to be careful where you do the course, as some are much more highly regarded than others.

            In IT looks like university is a waste of time. Especially with contractors. I don't remember seeing advert asking for uni degrees. But then I don't look for Management work. Anyways in IT , with experience and certs you should be able to reach management positions.

                  There are lots of PMs like that unfortunately.

                  It is a breath of fresh air when you get to work with one that knows what they are doing and do the job properly.

                      The air is not too fresh around here at the moment; just had a mail to say our project meeting will be devoted to the presentation of a new project. . Spin. . Spin. . Shelfware!
