How does one get into Human Resources?

What qualification and degree is required to work the HR dept? I want to do that, just because I would like to interview people, reject them, put them down, ask them hard questions and inflict pain upon them.
 
Get demoted from your current position.

Honestly I don't know what degree fits that best. I suppose just a general business management undergrad degree would be the best fit.
 
You also have to be a hot woman. 90% of the HR people ive known over the years were hot women. HR seems to be a field for the pretty people.

I need to live where you live then. Most of the HR people I've met HAVE been women, but most of them have been 55+ year old bitter women. Not to generalize or anything. 😀 Sales and marketing tend to be the professional positions that have the most attractive women in my experience.

 
you need a psychology degree and take some HR related business school classes. Then its just luck of the draw.

HR around here IS a sales position... In SoCal they're mostly hot. 😀

Yep... I'd like to hose down my HR rep... 🙂

 
There are degrees in HR.

Like others have said you need to be well grounded in psychology and also employee/employer related law.


 
It depends on what area of HR you want to get into - some require some background in law, some in psychology, some you need ADP/payroll processing knowledge, etc. It really depends.

I've been trying to get into HR since January and I've had 2 interviews but no luck. (First interview I just bombed, second was a behavioral interview - I guess it's kind of ironic that a week after I found out I didn't get the position for the 2nd interview that they declared bankruptcy) I'm just a Business Administration major since my school doesn't have a specific HR degree. I don't intend on giving up but I'm also branching out and trying to see if I can get into marketing, which is my intended area to get a Master's in possibly.
 
i hear you have to sell your soul to the devil and be trained as a minion of the damned and souless....

ive alway imagined being a HR person and when layoffs came around id dress up as a grim reaper.....
