Something about career

Now,my job is project manager in a software developing company,I was a R&D engneer before.Before I became a this project manager I had participate in about 5 projects.

Days ago,I discussed the IT career with Makefire.We both agree that it is difficult in China to earn a life as IT engineer,especially as a R&D engineer.In China,there are few developers older than 30 years.The developers over 30 years change to other type of jobs.Such as maintenance,project management,or quiting IT industry.
Cause of the concept of many companies think that the developers over 30 years old should not just coding any more,and in fact there are not so much chances for older developers.Many companies are using the newest technology,the most popular programming languages and have no own products and solutions.So when the older developers come,they need to learn a lot about the new skills.I think this is hard to many old gays.
I was a developer before,I love coding and the feeling of creating by codes.But I chose to be a project manager,because I was afraid to be an old developer also.I was told that there are many engineers over 30,40 and 50 years old.Why CAN NOT in China ?

Management is a hard working ,you need to communicate with many people not only your staffs.You must keep the client relations well,you must keep the HR resource ,you must keep an eye on the progress each week archiving,you must give out many reports and schedules to your boss and clients.....meanwhile, developping is an eazy job.

Life is hard,work is hard,we must find out a simple solution for life and work.
