　　Recently, I was told that managing is mostly common sense．Though I agree with this    1    in general，it leads me to a few very    2    conclusions．
　　In the IT field，entry level jobs are technical．As an engineer's career    3   , they become much more technical，with more responsibilities，and hopefully higher pay．   4    ，some of these engineers are promoted to    5   ，which is very non-technical．As mentioned above, these management jobs are more common sense by mostly    6    and evaluating daily tasks．
　　The surprising reality is that most managers didn't go into the IT field to do management work. These managers were never properly    7    and maybe not even interested in playing such a role.   8  ，engineers have a tendency to be more unsociable, which perhaps will have a negative influence on the relationship between other staff and them．While this may be good for a(n)     9    , it can be very bad for a manager with staff   10     to them．As a result，engineers    11    to managers are more likely to be bad managers．
　　Therefore，from my point of view, young people who    12    want to become engineers really need to   13    if you'd like to be in management．The only  14   of being a manager over an engineer is the higher salary while the disadvantage is that managers will lose their   15   edge(优势)．
