The choice for the future!

Lately I have been torn on a choice between a technical career path and a management oriented ladder. This is not to say I have been given a choice presently. But for the longer term, I have to pick one of these two sort of mutually exclusive roads. On the one hand, I love digging deep to learn my work. On the other, the challenges of having to learn the business side of things and having to deal with people has started to fascinate me. Especially with my burgeoning interest in history and society, I feel like I can make a bigger contribution being part of the latter community. If I had to state one topic that rouses my attention these days it would be people management. Now, I do feel it is shortsighted when I don't club this with project management, an essential part of any job at workplace that includes people management. Clearly, my eagerness is naive...maybe even premature. But, I need to resolve this dilemma soon. The study of financial system is equally if not more alluring. Then there is marketing which is closely related to people's thinking - a topic of interest as I mentioned above. I will attempt to put in order my muddled head in the coming months.
