Lots more money in Real Estate
Why can’t you mix them and enable yourself to do both! Choice one to major in while minoring in the other!
HR deals with all types of situations. Real estate is difficult because there are so many ups and downs. HR courses will help you on all the jobs that you work at.
H.R., I would rather work with people than commerce.
Human Resources Management… Real Estate is a tough job
Real Estate- more money if you have the right kind of personality and clients.
HR. You get to go home at night and not worry about stuff on weekends. Real Estate is far too dependant on other people’s schedules and you have to work almost 24/7.
Real Estate obviously has more opportunities for the business literate, with desire and a will to act. I can’t say i’d be happy in human resource management.
I’m going into HR Management (graduating in December 2006) YEA!!!
The reasons I picked this is because I love working with people and finding ways to help them in their careers. HR is growing because there is the strategic side which is becoming more important. We’re starting to tie in project management as well. The varieties of jobs in HR are tremendous. But you do need that training.
If you choose HRM, make sure you are taking classes from an accredited school and that they offer classes in: employment law, benefits, ethics, diversity, organizational behavior, staffing, strategic HR, dispute resolution, and project management. You will want all of these types of courses. Stay away from any school which tells you you only need just a basic HR course to be prepared for the HR field. Even with the courses I suggested, there is so much to learn. But I learned the hard way when I was previously in HR, that without appropriate training you can waste a lot of time hunting answers down. You also can make a huge mistake if you don’t accurately understand labor and employment law because you can give the wrong answer unintentionally.
So, if you like a field that is constantly changing, offers a lot of challenges, and you are motivated to work to help the employees achieve corporate goals, go for a degree in HR.
To the person who stated you can go home at nights and weekends without worrying about HR issues, probably has not worked in HR. The field can be a 24/7 issue, especially if there are around the clock operations and you are the primary contact.
