I was wondering what type of jobs were available with a Human Resources Management Degree (Bachelors or M.B.A) after right after graduation? In other words what are some entry level jobs that may be available or that are most common with this degree. Also is there room for advancement in these jobs and if so, how long will it take and what must I do in oder to advance further in a career in Human Resources Management. Thank you for your answers.

I’ve been working in HR for about 20 years. HR is a great field, but right now, it’s pretty flooded, so it’s tough to break in. With a BA in HR, you would start as entry level management, but there’s a large administrative component to it. Most people think that HR is mostly dealing with people, while in most cases, it’s less than half of the job. A lot of time is spent pushing paper or processing information (they never seem to tell you that in school). While you’re in school, try to get a part time/summer job or internship in an HR department, even in the school.
If you’re good, you can move up, but a lot will depend on the type of organization that you work for and how well they do in this economy. Don’t go get a master’s degree in the field until you’ve worked in it for a while and are sure that you like it. A master’s degree in another field can be just as useful (management, finance, industrial psychology, etc.) and can give you more flexibility. Good luck!
