I majored in Public Communications in college, and over the past year or so I took a great interest in pursuing a career in HR. I can’t decide, however, if I should strike right out for an HR job or get a Master’s Degree first. My only “fear” about going for a Master’s is my lack of a business degree, which makes me think the material may overwhelm me.

In this market, experience counts MORE than a degree. Of course, that might eventually change as more and more qualified candidates fill the job pool.
So, I would get the HR job first, even if you need to start at the bottom. Aim your resume appropriately:

Then, once you find a good company to start working with, find out if they will pay for your degree. Most will. Then, you can pursue your degree while working and the company will pay for it! You will eventually want the degree to be competitive.

I’m interested in Human Resources as well. In my workplace, experience (or equivalent education) within Human Resources is an absolute must so I’m planning to shoot for the Master’s Degree or at least the Master’s certification. Don’t be hesitant because of the lack of a business degree. In my opinion, school has absolutely nothing to do with being smart. It’s about being disciplined. Discipline yourself to go to class and never miss. Discipline yourself to pay attention in class. Discipline yourself to stay current with your reading assignments. Discipline yourself to complete your assignments, (even when your friends are bugging you to go out with them). Discipline yourself and you’ll do fine. That’s what I’m planning to do. If HR is where you’d really like to be, it’ll be worth it.
well as u said u took a great interest in pursuing a career in HR.so if u have already had a job then just keep doing it .after years or so,if u want to study again,u can go on furthur education.it’s not too late
