In essence, database management is a subset or part of information management. Information management is the tools, infrastructure and systems used to collect, store, organise, find and use personal or organisational information. Data is all the individual pieces - like age, birthdate, figures, prices etc - that make up overall information like how old your average customer is, what the sales figures for the year are or how prices have increased over the past decade.

Yes, definitely. The world increasingly revolves around the collection of data and every organisation you can think of - state, medical, cultural, business, educational and more - collect data about their current, future and prospective members. Someone has to marshal and protect all of this data that makes up useful information. 

Any field you can think of - like insurance, law enforcement, retail and hospitality - will require certified IMs (information managers) with great skills.
