As the Human Resource leader, your responsibilities range from directing the daily operations of the Human Resources Department, administrate HR policies, budgeting and supervise HR staff. In addition, your department will manage employee benefits, performance management, employee counseling, recruitment, hiring, orientation, training, worker’s compensation, employee health, meet compliance and HRIS programs. As HR Director, you act as the liaison to upper management and directly report to the President / CEO of most companies.
I think it is better for you to list the pros and cons yourself, because what is a con for others might not apply to you e.g. I don’t like working with animal but it might not bother you.
The only common characteristics (in my opinion) of the lised professions are only maths and English. Perhaps, you should look at what subject you are interested in before choosing the profession e.g. art or science.
Other than that, you should do your own research on the length of study, there is a lot of time-different in HR and pediatritian. It will take a lot of investments – physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially – to achieve your goal.
Veterinarian or Human Resources the rest will be either a head for life or just pain fruitless
I can comment on actuary.
Cons-
1. The exams are extremely difficult, and to be a certified actuary you HAVE to pass these. You are competing with other people who usually get A’s in math or have math majors.
2. This is a hard (though not impossible) field to enter if you already have young children due to the amount of time needed for work/study time.
3. You need a very patient, understanding partner to put up with all the time you will need to study.
Pros-
1. High salary potential once you become certified (ASA,FSA,FCAS, etc) – see http://www.actuaryjobs.com/salary.html
2. Reasonable hours (40 per week)
3. You would work more with numbers than with people (to some this would be a con, but I think this is a pro…)
4. High promotion potential (if you are a good communicator) – for example, to a corporate executive.
5. You only need a bachelor’s degree to get into this field, no graduate school. Although many actuaries have advanced degrees, one is not necessary to enter the field.
6. Nice balance between work/family life – ONCE YOU ARE CERTIFIED.
You can get decent information about this field fromhttp://www.beanactuary.com
I don’t have a lot of info about the other fields you are researching. Try the most recent Occupational Outlook Handbook online at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos041.htm.
Human resources typically takes a bachelor’s degree, and you will want a lot of training in employment and labor law, and other human resources related issues. Whether this is a good fit for you depends on why you want to go into it. For more info on Human Resources, please see this website: http://www.shrm.org.
You sound really ambitious by your career choices! And you seem to have a diversified number of interests. Basically all of those career titles at least require a college degree. Here is a website with the Department of Labor from the US Occupational Outlook Handbook: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can type into the ‘search’ box each career and find general info on educational requirements, average salary and working conditions.
You also may be able to ‘shadow’ a few people to see what their jobs are like on a typical day or even volunteering for a non-profit organization or such can help you get a closer feel for the job. Good luck to you!
