@op do you hate your job?

It's not. EY1 is right. It only makes sense to me because I'm already a PM and it's "expected" in my field.

No I don't, I actually love it. To expand on EY1s previous comments, the PMs who are only PMs because they have a PMP suck. Those of us who rose through the ranks and have an understanding of people as well as processes, are usually a lot better.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
