PMP has evolved into more people management than project management. Is it necessary? No. Do clients often times value it, yes. If you can get the costs covered by your employer, it's worth it. Not sure if I would have done it on my own dime.

Hi everyone,

Not long ago I obtained bachelors and in the interim I have been working at Morgan Stanley.

Is it even possible to to do for instance masters in law if I only have bs in business or for example masters in something related to renewable energy or so?
