<p>I am majoring in economics and am interested in heading towards a career in human resources. is economics the right path to go and will it actually get me anywhere with human resources? although my major is technically financial economics, i plan to take courses in:</p>
<p>labor economics
economics of organizations
financial accounting
managerial finance
advanced computer applications
monetary economics
financial economics</p>
<p>Take a look at internship and entry-level job postings for careers in human resources. You’ll see a cluster of recommended majors – business administration, finance, accounting, economics, etc. Keep doing what you’re doing; pursue your degree in financial economics, keep a high gpa, and look for internships in human resources. That will put you in the best position to get started in HR.</p>
Did you get in to HR with your Econ degree?
