It depends what kind of degree, and what you are looking for. don't expect to get a six figure salary off the bat, you need work experience and if you didn't intern during summer vacations, you can expect to start at the bottom... from what i've seen a Human Resources Coordinator makes between 42,000 -46,000 in larger metropolitan cities.

Search this link, it is the occupational outlook handbook. It is done by the government and used by colleges! Good luck with your choice of degree! http://www.bls.gov/oco/

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

Volunteering with an organization that provides crisis counseling -- women at a domestic violence shelter, victims of crime, people that call a hotline, etc. Some of your work in HR management will be working with employees who are in distress, and having this kind of volunteering experience will prepare you for those situations. It will also look good on your resume. Volunteering with an organization that involves a large number of volunteers, helping the organization to screen candidates, orient new volunteers, support the volunteers, etc. This will give you experience that will mirror what you do as an HR manager, except you will be working with volunteers (unpaid) rather than employees (paid).

I've been working in HR for about 20 years. HR is a great field, but right now, it's pretty flooded, so it's tough to break in. With a BA in HR, you would start as entry level management, but there's a large administrative component to it. Most people think that HR is mostly dealing with people, while in most cases, it's less than half of the job. A lot of time is spent pushing paper or processing information (they never seem to tell you that in school). While you're in school, try to get a part time/summer job or internship in an HR department, even in the school. If you're good, you can move up, but a lot will depend on the type of organization that you work for and how well they do in this economy. Don't go get a master's degree in the field until you've worked in it for a while and are sure that you like it. A master's degree in another field can be just as useful (management, finance, industrial psychology, etc.) and can give you more flexibility. Good luck! For more info on the field, go to www.shrm.org
