Students considering engineering as a career must be interested in both technology and management, as all engineers end up in management positions. is it true or false?

Interest in technology would be very helpful to a student considering a career in engineering but not necessary. My interest was in math, not so much in technology and I have been quite happy with my choice to be an engineer. As for getting into management - not all engineers end up in management positions or even want to get into management. However, as an engineer you will be managing projects as part of the job. For some, to advance their careers they become engineering managers or higher-level positions as head of research and development. They find that they enjoy managing people. I have held program management positions but have not been in charge of people yet. As I am currently pursuing an MBA, my goal is to diversify my skills as an engineer and create new career paths. I don't know what that looks like yet but I am excited to see what the future holds!
