Am I wasting my time getting my Master's Degree in Human Resource Management
Am I wasting my time getting my Master's Degree in Human Resource Management?
What is up with this field? All employers want is experience. Everybody has to start somewhere. I have no HR experience, but have years of administrative experience. Give me a break already. HR is a snobbish field. No, I know most want experience, but it is not like it is rocket science or finding a cure for cancer. A Master's Degree should be sufficient to get a job in HR.

It's not just HR. Most positions require experience. The hardest part is getting your foot in the door, unless of course, it just happens to be an entry level position. If you get an interview for an HR position, you just have to sell yourself. Not having experience yet doesn't mean you can't do the job or that you are guaranteed not to be hired.

Try to do internships if you can during your school and make sure that your school has a good alumni network. That might enable to get good jobs. I do not believe that a Masters is a waste of time, but unfortunately many employers want more and better experience than one can possibly provide. I feel your pain. Also look at my question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkyVkOiEjW5ZeLUv6J5Eq2bsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090508084601AAVBua1

There are also certifications you can obtain through the American Management Association. These help you obtain a job. From my observations, most HR people do three things well: arrive at 9:03AM, take an hour and a half lunch, and leave at 4:57PM. Oh, they are also very good at telling you to "look it up on the company website".

Probably about 10 Human Resource classes, plus some general business classes, such as basic accounting, economics, basic finance, business law, general management classes, basic marketing, a few math classes, including statistics, a couple public speaking classes, maybe a psychology class or two, and of course the core classes that everyone has to take like English, History, Biology, etc etc.

Most undergrad business colleges will offer a concentration in HR (sometimes called organizational management).

SPHR - it has to be kept update with ongoing education in the field versus a degree program that does not require continuing education.

For learning and development, I found a master's in HR more valuable. I found the program at Fordham University, it's available on-line, valuable and immediately applicable to my career. It allows you to study and focus on 1 course at a time, allowing you to balance work, life and education. Some of the details are below: Earn a prestigious Fordham University Masters Degree in Human Resources 2 year, 36 credit program Online or On Campus (Lincoln Center) Starts: Fall 2008 1 course at a time, allowing you to balance work, life and education Personalized advisement throughout 2 year program Questions: Contact Program Director, Dr. Toby Tetenbaum via phone 212-636-6439 or by e-mail: tetenbaum@fordham.edu Good luck!
