Knowledge and experience is power (MONEY), I have known NCOs and Officers that had job as project mangers during their service time and once out took test to get certified and are now in charge of projects making good money.

I absolutely agree that this is a very good career option. Everything happened for me gradually. At the very beginning, I received a diploma in computer science, and only then, I studied management because I lacked this knowledge. Periodically used https://cipcommunity.org/ when writing my management essays and studying related topics. Then, having combined this knowledge, I became a project manager in IT.
