you should look into a degree in IO (industrial and organizational) psychology. You probably have most of the credits you need with your psych degree. These are the people who design workplace environments, do research on what keeps workers happy and productive, hiring, customer relations, alot of things. after a few years and with the right company, you can easily expect a nice six figure income.

I don't know what country you are from, but in Canada a Human Resources Specialist is well sought after. The "baby boom" generation is getting older and most organizations are trying to find ways to keep the employees that they have. I don't know if you can get a degree in Human Resources, but in Canada you can go to technical schools to get your diploma and in University you can take your Business Admin degree and specialize in Human Resources. As you already have a degree in Psychology it is not too far of a stretch to obtain more education in Human Resources. The goal is to look for programs that focus on health & wellnes, balance between work and home, pension and benefits, conflict resolution, dealing with difficult people and last but not least, how to motivate people. You have already received the training on "people" but you need to focus on the human aspect of people. Such courses are normally not available through Univeristy but they are offered through Colleges. If you live in the United States then there are probably local Colleges that offer this type of program, you could probably search on-line. You can also ask the University that you have just graduate from to see if you can take a couple of extension courses that are designed for this career.

Human Resource Manageent or Human Resource Development?
Human Resource Management or Human Resource Development?
Could I still get a job as a human resource manager with a degree in human resource development which is the easier route to take between the two? I keep going back and forth between these two majors. Human Resource Development is through the College of Education and it is supposed to prepare you for training in the HR field.

Don't know what that is, your highered.

The short answer is yes. Be mindful that the essential difference is that the HR Manager route allows for more of an operational (day-to-day management roles and responsibilities) basis, while the HR Development is geared for the "people" (human behavior) side of HR. Actually, if you continue to take course in both you'll be in a great position when you graduate because you'll have courses that have exposed you to operations as well as personnel. One of the shortcomings of HR in the so-called "real world" is that too frequently the HR Manager is aligned with an academic background that focused on one aspect (operations) at the exclusion of the other (personnel). The reality of most HR positions is that the individual needs to be competent with both sides of the house. With your B.A. (or B.S.) in hand, you'll see as you consider positions in the HR field that either degree is suitable ... however, larger, more processing or manufacturing types of companies tend to favor the HR Management degree over the HR Development degree. The solution to that is to not apply at large firms. At the same time, there is a need in the corporate sector for HR Development Specialists or Consultants. You may find it more lucrative to "hang out your own shingle" for HR services if you eventually get your degree in HR Development. I hope this information is helpful ... good luck!
