This may sound dumb but, should I major in Sociology or H.R. if I want to be a Human Resource Manager


 This may sound dumb but, should I major in Sociology or H.R. if I want to be a Human Resource Manager?
I'm really passionate about the courses found in a sociology major. However, I'm not sure if this degree will help me get a job in human resources...do you think a more career-specific major (i.e. Human Resource Management) is better? I'm afraid that I'm weak at calculus portions of the business major (which is why I consider sociology).

If you posess a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for jobs. My pal has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some good instruction on the website in the resource box below which aided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the website regarding other jobs.

To be a HR Manager you need to do HR. You can choose subjects that suit you more then others but Math is a requirement in all degrees.

If I were you, I would major in Business. I received a BBA in Marketing and don't remember having to take Calculus at all for that one. HR wants to be at the table with Senior Management. If that's really the case, you need to be a Business major who likes HR, not the other way around. Hope this helps. Bp
