Do you like making stuff? Do you like arranging how stuff gets made? Different skill sets and rewards for each position. For my career, having the wrong role was ultimately unsatisfying - while it was neat knowing what was going on at some altitude, I went back to the keyboard as I preferred making stuff. Ultimately, life is short. Work to get the resources to do what you like, not just to keep score.
