Never thought, it was all SAP/BI/BA world. I was more into Techno-Managerial role.
'Accidental PM' Saving Changes...

In 2000 the publishing company I worked for decided that instead of writing and editing our educational materials, we would outsource the work. In an instant, I went from being an editor to being a project manager.
I myself did not decide to become a Project Manager but was fortunate enough to work for a company that offered me the opportunity to do so. I had been working for the same company for a number of years as a field supervisor in bridge construction when there was a need for a more field knowledgeable Projector Manager Assistant. They offered me the position which I accepted and have now moved on to managing my own projects. It has been an ever changing and learning experience that I feel will never end for if you stop learning you will set yourself up for failure. Saving Changes...
After graduation in computational mechanics I discovered working in simulation that I prefer working with teams. Switching companies I grew into the position by taking over more and more tasks of the Project manager. I agree with Jerry, it is a topic, which seems to have no end to learning, so it won't get boring that fast. Saving Changes...
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
