Depends what kind of management job. Managing who? Or what? I mean, it seems like it would be relatively easy for you to move into like an office manager job.
I know that I want to make the jump into media. Maybe an industry job, here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION, is it crappy that I'm not at this going away party at work for someone I've smiled at in the hallway but never had an actual conversation with? They're giving speeches. That's no fun.

Oh, that's not necessarily "management," in the way I think of it. I mean, you wouldn't be applying for PR Director jobs or whatever, but there are other jobs in the same department you could get, I'm sure.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Like business manager at a small production company or post house or something, Allyson?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think that there are coordinating jobs -- here is a herd of projects, make them all go the right way on deadline -- and there are office-management jobs, which is what Allyson seems to be in (though perhaps not called that or paid that way). Certainly, the coordinating jobs have more potential to moving up into "deciding who will coordinate what" and then to "what projects will we take on" stages.
It's possible to make a nice living as the person who does all the HR/purchasing/billing/etc. of a small company, and stay there for 20 years. Depending on your temperament, this may be bliss or boring.
However, unless you can spin your current experience into "I coordinate lots! See me coordinate!" then coordinator jobs are likely to start way back at the bottom of the pay scale, and possibly be populated with recent college graduates.
(Can you tell I made this kind of transition recently? 4 years ago, now. I did move up quickly, but that first year, I was po'. I don't know if it's the same for all values of "coordinator," but I think it's true of a lot of them.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, that seems like it might turn up something. I know someone who runs a post house that mostly does reels.

This is what I'm doing and I like it, because it leaves time for writing, plus no one breathing down my neck.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Two of the attorneys in my office just watched me carefully remove all traces of bacon from the spinach salad that was served as a part of our lunch.
