Omg for the last week or 2 I’ve been thinking about going into HR and getting the BA for it but it’s a big financial obligation. The certification in 6 months sounds right up my alley. Then if I find I really love HR I can get the degree later. Thank you so much. This made my decision and my life so much easier 😊

I learned this the hard way! I signed up for a master’s degree in HR management- big mistake! 😮 the courses went deeper than HR. Lots of economics, financial analysis, etc etc… it’s best to wait until you get in HR first. Get your certifications first, way cheaper….Some jobs still pay really good! I have a bachelor’s already as well in humanities . I’m going for my certification and dropped the degree!! 😮

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! If you’re already certified, there isn’t a need to get another certification unless you’re going to see an immediate ROI. What type of work do you do in HR? What work do you aspire to do?

Is your company paying for it or reimbursing you? If not, you should ask them before taking it. Start with SHRM and HRCI's website to decide which you qualify for then apply to sit for the exam.

Great advice!.. I am getting my BA because a lot of jobs in the job description either require or prefer BA. I haven’t come across many jobs that say certification in the job description.
@HeyyyHR11 ай бұрын
You normally don't see certification until you apply to higher level roles like Manager, Director or VP. I would research which BA programs I wanted to start that position that as professional development for the company and look for companies with tuition or education reimbursement. Let the company pay for those degrees and certs!

It really does depend… but to get the SHRM certification you need a certain amount of experience to qualify.

Just means you have to find an HR job first to get the SHRM cert. That would be less expensive & probably easier than getting a degree

@@HeyyyHR Yes… but depending on the market, it may be difficult to get an HR position. Many ppl end up getting a degree or certification after working in HR for a company and getting stuck at the same level because they don’t have a degree. In Chicago without a degree you’re gonna have to have 3-5+ yrs experience to be considered for $45k… they won’t even consider paying a non degreed person more than $40k unless there’s tons of experience. I have a degree in HR and I am scheduled for the certification.
