Career opportunities


Question Posted Monday June 29 2009, 1:22 pm

Iam an graduate in B.Sc biotech doing MBA in a college in chennai(India). This is my second year of graduation and i have to opt any one as specialisation from HR, MARKETING, FINANCE & SYSTEMS. My field of interest is HR. But many of my friends and professors says there is not much scope for HR professionals and guided me to choose some others since it will decide my future career opportunities and growth and also says HR jobs will be monotonous and it will not have any challenging works. Iam in a confused state of mind whether to choose the subject on my field of interest or go for some other option. Kindly guide me to choose best option and also tell me about its carrer prospects and growth.

YOu don't say where you will be working. IN the US or in India. If you work in the US, HR could be interesting, because there are so many damn laws governing what people can and cannot do during work hours. With large, and I mean very large companies, HR is a very important position, BUT....you'll be dealing with humans when they are at their worst behavior. Or you'll be laying people off. Not a fun task. I have done both HR and accounting, (in the US.) And I'll take accounting any day. Sooner or later the numbers are going to come out right and you'll accomplish your task. SUCCESS. In HR, sometimes to be successful means you make other people unhappy. Some tasks are distasteful, and all you can wish for is that they will be over soon.
Hope this helps
