Recently, I have seen several articles on the topic of what the profession is, how it differs from others similar to it, and how much such specialists receive. I will not repeat what has already been written here, but will reveal the stated topic from a different angle.
I will build the structure of the article according to the type of answers to questions in the comments, because I have already noticed that there are tough commentators on Habré and like to spread the texts of the authors)
So ... Let's go!
Why does the topic sound like this?
Because a project manager needs to keep in mind a bunch of tasks for only one project, and given the fact that the manager is often busy with several projects, it is very easy to “get tired” here. And if you are a good specialist in demand, then everyone wants to get a piece of your time!
For almost 10 years of experience in managing a team of project managers, 2 managers changed their specialty to a more relaxed position of a programmer, 2 “burned out” and left to get to know themselves. Perhaps they are now somewhere in Tibet or Bali)
That is why the task of becoming cool and not burning out, I singled out the main one for this profession.
What makes a project manager awesome?
Here are the most important skills from my practice:
high communication skills and the ability to translate from the client's language into the language of specialists

I can also cite as an example another employee of our company who works 4 hours a day, and the rest of the time travels with his wife in a trailer across Europe. At the same time, he is a very good specialist and the cost of his hour has doubled over the past 3 years. Thus, by working half a day, he earns the same as previously received for a full time.
If others succeed, then it will work for you. Good luck!
