mr Kank,
Let me tell you and other members who disowned credibility of worth of HR.
World over and including India a major population of intellectuals engaged in this profession which is designated in many job titles such as:
Labour officer
Labour Welfare Officer
Personnel Officer/manager
Human Resources manager
Employee Relations Manager
Industrial Relations Manager
Compensation & Benefits Manager
Performance Management and Organization Development manager
etc etc many facets of HR exist and millions of people are earning and creating wealth in all walks of life from Financial instutions, Manufacturing sector, IT sector, Service Sector, Pharma Sector etc HR people making good careers and earn good respect, wealth and enjoy this profession.
You must not ask whether HR is worth your question should how many people in HR are real worth to HR.
If you have worth knowledge in HR you will be definately rewarded. I worked in India for 17 years including Private Limited companies to Public Sector companies and working overseas since five years just because of my MIRPM Indian University.
This profession has offered me all benefits that one dreams in life.
This profession has immense potential for growth, economic and intellectual prosperity but survival in this profession is only of the fittest. therefore HR is profession of more worthy people..
You can not survive with government servent kind of slow motion approach or else you should be lucky enough to find job in Government sector to rest whole life in one place to retire from there which seems difficult.
Badlu
