No offense ... But this proposition doesn't sound very appealing at all ... I love how with hard work and determination, mastering technical knowledge, you too can become a middling middle managing bean counter too ... :) Perhaps that is a bit harsh but ... I dunno.
I think the real problem is the company you work for as a PM. What kind of projects you are working on, who is actually holding the purse strings, who the clients are (internally or externally) etc.
I know project managers who are boss hog and ones who are little more than account managers with a title.

A good PM is an great asset that adds huge value to a company. Most are middling middle managing bean counters.
Advice on how to make sure you become the former and not the later would be more useful than this blog post.
