I would personally like to have my end goal to be a manager, but I first would want to get a couple of years working as an engineer to understand how the industry actually works. This semester we learned many important concepts of FDA regulation and how the project management process works. This is important background basis for a project management. However, in real life, nothing follows a textbook definition. For example, the design control steps may be different in one company compared to another. Thus, to answer the question, I would choice a management role after I garner some experience as an engineer or even a scientist. Moreover, I see a management role as more of leader who guides a project to completion. Almost like a surgeon conducting an operation. A surgeon not only has to know the procedure of an operation but also needs to know is the anesthetist is giving the right amount of anesthesia and if the surgical tools provided as the correct.
