With your PMP and MBA certification, youll for sure get to the top quickly. Just try to dig the inner essence of planning, and be patient with the tedious details that youll go through. Seek and ask to understand. Planning is indeed a great part of every successful project.
In this computing age, theres a lot of planning softwares that you can use depending on your requirement. For me, those softwares are simply programs as a tool to make our planning presentations and analysis quicker with flexibility in its future utilization. Therefore, I say that planning is indeed more on analytical aspects and its application because after all we can still do planning manually. Hope you get what I am trying to emphasize.
Good luck to you and hope that youll share with us your future planning knowledge and experiences.
In Friendship & Service,

To me what right means is appropriate. Aside from the good advices that youve got here, have a look at some of the other forums/discussions about planning/scheduling, project management, careers & etc. here, from there you can start building what could be right to you.

Your experience is CAD, i.e. use of a software for a technical job. PMP and your other qualifications show a good, maybe excellent, theoretical background. Planning means to combine theory and practice. To start as a senior? Youll be about to fail, as a junior may be boring.
Start as a planner for a small project or a part of a bigger project and then ask, ask, ask,.... If there is a chance, start planning in an industry you know. With your theoretical background youll learn fast and become a senior.
Just start!
Good luck!

You are over qualified for a Junior position. You will need a high level position in the planning field. Certification will help always.
My best suggestion is to join a large runninh project, as an Senior in the Planning department where you can practice planning at all levels. Or you can join the Project Management company where you can practice your planning skills.

Hi,
Thank you for your “astute advice” but please define “right”.

If you are keen enough, just look at the High Rise Bldgs.
It would not be possible without the right foundation.

Yes, why not. You can be a Junior Planner first just like what others did. Just keep on planning.
