Matt,

Are you interested in getting more money or getting more job satisfaction?
Being a construction industry PM you are the bottom of the pile in a professional team and add little of value (creative) to the process.. a manager at best, a post box at worse...

What you are able to do within your chosen field involves an element of creative thinking and input. Over time you may, if you are so inclined become the design driver for a project.. when that happens you know all the crap has been worth it...
Its a satisfaction that eludes the PM in every project.. always the groomsman... never the groom.. why because you are neither the real Client nor the real designer.

You might get the gold but you won't have the satisfaction....

Naturally this is from a very biased perspective where my experience of PM's is generally poor with one or two individuals proving there are exceptions to this rule..but of the ones I have worked with.. the rule it pretty accurate.
