I have been researching the Masters of Science in Project Management and I am undecided if this is the best avenue for me to get into the PM job market. I have a BS in Emergency Administration & Mgmt and worked in that field for 19 years. I worked with a consulting company for nine years with most of the work consisting of being a Task Lead on multiple projects. During that time, I learned a lot about PM, but I never managed a full project. Now, five years later, I work in a completely different field. That career change wasn't the best decision for me, so I am ready to get back into project management type work.
Since I already have a four-year degree, I have been taking some online CAPM-prep classes to prepare myself for the CAPM exam. However, after doing some research, I thought maybe also getting my Master's degree would be beneficial when trying to enter back into the PM job market.
I would like some advice on whether I should pursue the MSPM, the CAPM, or both? Saving Changes...
