My university suggested I switch from a “Business Administration” degree with a focus on Human Resources to a “Technical Management” degree with a focus on Human Resources because the Tech Management degree track makes better use of my transfer credits from another college (enough so that I will graduate 2 semesters sooner). However, the woman I spoke to could not explain to me what the difference was between the two degrees, and the university website is somewhat vague. Perhaps there is a Technical Management major out there who could explain it to me?

I attended college between 1993-1999 (off and on as my schedule permitted). I was actually paying my own way through college and the debt just became too overwhelming. My major was Interior Design (not decorating). I know that major is going to be too time intensive…considering where I am in my life, now. I’m married, have an elementary aged child, no family living nearby, husband who works many hours, and I am working full time as well. I basically need to start over. I know that many of my credits are just too old now or just won’t apply to a degree in Business or Nutrition, etc. I need a program that A. is near or less than $3000/year, B. 100% online (no A.A. or A.S. Degree as a requirement), and C. will be possible for me to earn more than $30K/year. I am interested in Nutrition (not cooking), Computer related programs (IT), possibly Speech, possibly business, possibly human resources. Thank you for any input you may have to offer. I’ve been thinking about a career in HR. The problem is that if I decide to major in HR or anything in Business, I will have to waste another semester taking the prerequisite classes to get accepted into those majors. So I was thinking of getting my major in either psychology or sociology (which I have already completed prerequisites) and getting a minor in HR, so I dont have to waste time. Although I have been told a business degree would be better for HR. So what do you think I should do? I currently am employed in an HR position at 20 years old and want to continue my career in the field. I am currently at a community college part time and DO NOT WANT TO MAJOR IN BUSINESS! I have tried before and do not want to take the 20+ classes in general business and have only a few classes in HR. I do, however, plan to minor in HR Management. So my question is which of the following majors would be beneficial for an HR career: I do plan on getting my Bachelor Degree after as well. im doing a bachelor of Management and majoring in Human Resource management do u think its worth i want to get a job quickly…or shoud i change my Major??? In all honesty it really does not matter. The only fields that are pretty much guaranteed jobs are accounting and finance. Other than that a business degree is a business degree. The things you learn in business school are all intertwined. Employers that need a business associate will hire someone with any business degree, and sometimes those who have a degree in something other than business. |
