Pleasing The Masses By Getting A Degree In Human Resources

By Hedrick Lepsch


It takes more than shiny apples on professors' desk to impress them. The easiest way to impress professors is to get to know them. If you do not attempt to get to know your professors as individuals you will never know what traits they esteem more than others in their students.

To be consigned to a sad existence with no hope of moving upward or ever enjoying the true fruits of our labor would be a living nightmare. Socialistic innovations occurred with great writers who explored the world of the commons. Dickens and Victor Hugo were great examples of this.

As the idea of equality and better working conditions started coming to fruition great leaders such as Henry Ford made further contributions by offering employees something more than pay. Ford brought innovation to the work place by cutting hours and doubling the minimum wage.

When deciding your major, also consider the life and luxuries you wish to have after college. If you want to make a lot of money and are fine with long hours, a business administration degree may be a great fit. Or if you want to earn the majority of your money of a couple months and want have the rest of the year to relax an accounting degree may be just right.

Also be sure to complete the assigned reading as well as any extracurricular reading you find interesting. Being able to discuss in-depth the topics of the course is always a good way to impress your professor. The more ideas and concepts you share with your professors the more likely you will be able to have meaningful conversations with them.

Now when you run a business there is someone who is ensuring that employees are taken care of. Whether it is by helping them understand their rights or by providing benefits and helping them feel like they have an advocate in the company. Work has a culture and sometimes there are people who can be subjects of a discrimitory culture. This is where Human resources steps in and takes care of the company's employees. Ultimately that is what they do. They manage culture in the company, making sure that it is a safe and secure environment for employees to grow and thrive.

Because of the time an effort you have spent fostering this relationship, you now have a mentor is your career field that can help you navigate and network with industry contacts when it comes time to find a job. Although your professor may teach at a university and at times they can seem out of touch with the real world, you will be amazed at the people they know and the contacts they can help you make.

Human resource staff strive to maintain a professional environment where workers can gain knowledge and experience that propel them forward. It also puts on a face for the company as a whole. One of the most vital things to do in HR is understand and follow the company policies and procedures. This is what all of the employees are watching and it adds more stress to the job. If Charles Dicken's could see our work place today I can imagine him smiling and feeling proud of what has happened since his time.
