Answer
AOB,

Project  management  is  a  concept  of  job  function.

It  can  be  applied  to  construction industry -telecom industry -oil industry-engineering.


Project management  can  be  handled  by  people

-with  just  basic  engineering  degrees  and  grow  from  there.

or  with  MBA   degree  in  project  MANAGEMENT degree, they  climb  the
career  ladder   faster.

AGAIN  IT  DEPENDS  ON THE   INDIVIDUAL'S   APTITUDE
AND   ATTITUDE  TOWARDS   THE  JOB.
=====================================================
IF YOUR   BASIC  EDUCATION   IS   '' BE [electronics]

IF   YOUR  CAREER  INTEREST  IS  ''PROJECT  MANAGEMENT CAREER''

THEN  

-your  entry  will  be  much  easier   through

electronics --telecom  industries.

ONCE  YOU  GAIN THE  ENTRY,  THEN  YOU MUST  POSITION
AND  WORK  HARD  TO  CLIMB  THE  CAREER  LADDER
IN  PROJECT  MANAGEMENT.

SO  YOU NEED  TO   CONSIDER  BOTH  THE  FACTORS

-the  industry

-the  career  objective.
