Choosing the Management Track

I have met many engineers who are around 50 years old, did not want to go into management, and they are fairly miserable.

Forcing yourself into a role you aren't really suited to is a recipe for becoming miserable.

I don't think the GP was saying the engineers were miserable because they stopped being engineers and went into management. I think he was saying they were miserable because they didn't go into management and then found that their careers were at a dead end.
