Must I code to be in Tech?

Here is a list of some of the amazing opportunities you can explore in tech without necessarily writing codes;
Project Manager
A project manager is one person most developers do not “like”. Why?
Stereotypically, project managers earn more than the developers who write codes, and developers claim they do not deserve what they earn. It’s a tough argument for another day. But, what do these guys do?
Basically, project managers are the brain behind every process of a project from start to finish. Sometimes, they even outsource the projects to be worked on.
By processes,
• They plan and set project goals,
• Ensure the availability of every resource needed to implement the project,
• Keep track of project progress and necessary corrections before implementation,
• Ensure that execution is in accordance with project goals and customer satisfaction
• Ultimately, they ensure projects are delivered ON TIME!
By implication, project managers are detailed, disciplined and strategic minds. You can be a project manager
