<p>I want to get into the Human Resources world, but I'm not sure of what to colleges to apply to. I looked for colleges offering HR degrees in Cali, but only found state universities; however, a lot of schools offer sociology degrees. Is sociology a better degree than an HR degree for going into HR? One last question, what should I do over the summer (I'm an incoming senior) to further my pursuit of HR. I'm already taking summer classes, but I'm thinking more of jobs or volunteering? Thanks!</p>
