My son, you will be a chief !

Students : stop to think you NEED to be a project chief to be someone !

I see lots of young IT engineers, who just come out from their high schools, and want to manage projects. Oh yeah, Excel, MS Project should be very exciting !

IT architecture is one the more interesting job I even see.
