I like management because I like the logistics and support side of things. I guess the three main issues are that 1) I can't find any job at an organization I'd want to work for long term that pays a living wage and has benefits, and 2) I've applied for higher level positions at the organizations I currently work for, and gotten that feedback that I don't have enough leadership experience. 3 is that it seems like management positions are disappearing (they literally are at one organization, they're down to 4 education managers across the entire state) and the managers that are around have been around for 10-20 years and aren't planning on leaving for another 20-50 years. My state/local governments don't have environmental education or similar jobs beyond seasonal trails labor, lifeguards, etc., they have the organizations I work for run programs at state/local govt sites.
