Question:
I am trying to figure out if I should get a B.A. in Human Resouces or just get a certification in H.R. Some relvant info: I already have a B.A. in Sociology. HR degree would be less than 2 years to complete, certification would be about 1 year. Also this is in California.
So what are the major differences between a degree and certification? Is one worth siginificantly more to the employer? Will one get me further in my carrer? Should I try to get a B.A. and certification? What other things should I be thinking about?
Answer:
I can only answer you as an employer. I used to be VP and Area Director for North & South America for a global company, with over 1,000 employees in my region. I now own my own small consultation firm.
If 2 candidates are equal in how they present themselves during the interview, the candidate with a degree in HR will get the job over one with a certificate.
