HR as a possible carrer choice?

I want to look at eventually becoming a specialist. I am a senior finishing up my B.A. psych degree. I have 6-7 years in the administration field, 5 of them being in the military. What should my next steps be? Should I only try to get a position as an assistant after graduation? Any and all help/advice is welcome!

I would look for jobs as Human Resources Generalist or as an Administrative Assistant in an HR office. My first job out of college was as an HR Generalist and my degree was personnel management (1/2 psychology 1/2 business). I would really try to get into an HR office as I learned more in my 3 months interning at an HR office than in my 4 years of school.
