Good topic!



I had a management position at another company several years ago (Office Manager with a staff of 5 people reporting to me).  My current employer doesn't have Office Managers, which is about the farthest I want to go in Management.  I thoroughly enjoy the work I do as an Admin, and an Office Manager position allows me to continue to do what I love doing while also supervising and possibly being a "mentor" for other Admins.



I am currently taking courses to complete a degree in Office Administration, with a minor in Human Resources Management.  If an Office Manager position is not eventually created here, I believe I would like to transfer into the Human Resources Department.  Positions in that area do include managerial titles and responsibilities while still allowing me to do some of the Admin work I enjoy.  There aren't any openings now, but once I have my degree, I'll see what's available.  I don't want to leave my present employer, because I really enjoy working here, and I don't necessarily need a "management" position to fulfill my career goals.



Everyone is different, of course, but that's where I stand right now.



Thanks for asking!!
