Could I get a job in Human Reources with an Associates Degree in Psychology?
Question by GilmoreGirls1: Could I get a job in Human Reources with an Associates Degree in Psychology?
I just enrolled for an online Associated degree in Psychology program. I looked at some of the careet avenues for Psychology and I know that I will have to further my education in order to really get into the field of Psychology. I was wondering if I can go into an entry-level Human Resources position with an Associates Degree in Psychology?

You may be able to get an entry level job but you should know that it will be very clerical in nature – filing, data entry, filling out forms, making copies, sending out information to employees – similar to any other clerical job.

I am going into Human Resources and I have my BA in Psychology. That said, I will shortly be going back to school to get my Masters in Human Resources. The company I currently work for will not hire ANYONE for a Human Resources position that does not have experience in the field already. So basically, I have to do another position first and get promoted to Human Resources (that is the only other way my company allows people to get into the position.)
From what I know Human Resources positions are very hard to get. And although Psychology is very much related to the field of Human Resources…most of the positions I have looked at require a Bachelor’s degree or higher.
Hope that helps.
