You can develop a high level of skill at anything, is more a question of how important that is. In particular, you might say how important that is to people doing the hiring. It is clear for many jobs, they don’t care. Some minimum wage jobs they will virtually take anyone with a pulse.
With white collar jobs it is a little more complicated. Project management is software is a position where i’ve often seen people with absolutely no skill helpful to the job. They may have needed a certain amount of political skill, or ass-kissing skill, or knowing how to say the right things, sling buzz words kind of skill. Skills that don’t actually help be effective at the job itself.
I’ve also met entirely unskilled projects management but the organizational and people skills needed to do well absolutely are skills
I can complete the tasks for a project manager. But have neither the organizational skills nor people skills to do it well
Coming up on annual review time at work, one of my successes this year was to persuade a project manager to take up my initiative- while the work needed is easy for me, now I have someone applying it across 50 teams and I can’t compete with that
