Is Double Majoring In Public Administration & Sociology Good If I Want To Pursue A Career In Human Resources?

I’m aware that having a degree in business administration is good, but I am not that good in math. Also, all the math courses and other courses that I must take before I can transfer to a university does not fit into my time schedule or plans for the future. The two majors that I have chosen are majors that I have spent hours researching on and feel that they are the best fit for me and for my career. I just need some different thoughts concerning my decision.
I know that these two majors are a better fit for me and I actually will enjoy double majoring in public administration and sociology. I already have an A.A. degree and two certificate of achievements in general management and human resources management obtained through my local community college. I have zero job experience in human resources and would like to know if I will be able to land some type of an entry-level position in human resources once I am finished with college.
Do any of you think I am on the right path? Let me know what your thoughts and feelings are concerning my decision. I will award 10 points to the best answer of course and I will be checking back often to read all the replies. Thank you.

    You should go to monster.com or hotjobs.com and start searching for the jobs you want when you graduate. Then you can see what specific requirements they have for those positions, and you’ll know what education you need to get there.

    Sort of…
    Ideally, you would want to go to a business program that has a specific degree in HR…
    If that’s not your thing, typically a psychology degree would be the other direction.
    With your choices as long as you are actively part of an SHRM student chapter and do HR related internship, you should do ok.
