Greetings of the day,
I agree with the member above and you must not think about what your seniors are saying or listen to them and give them your attention in this regard. We dont know what and why your seniors are saying this but you are an educated person and doing your masters not a bachelor, therefore, you have to take the things positively with better understanding. You just need to focus on your studies and stand with your decisions and motive instead of getting distracted by these kinds of things.
Second, I would like to know what made you feel to go for MSW while enrolling, and what are your motive/target/objective of career and what are the differences between MSW-HR and Core HR in your understanding.
Third, as stated by Mr. Saikumar above that HR is really an important part of Organization, is true but MSW, is bit different and you must have known this fact too as you are a Masters Student and at half of your study.
MSW HR has different areas then Core HR and at industry level, and is mostly deal with human approaches.
Let me share something with you and other. I remember a question asked by a mate in my Collage (MBA-HRM) while our discussion over Human Resource Management and Human Relations, she asked,
“What are the major differences between Human Services - Human Services Administration/ Relations and Human Resource Management (Core HR)?” that was really a good question and gave me a better understanding on that. And I believe this can also help you a lot if you would try to answer this question at your own by your study, understanding and research.
Could you share your topic/subject of Study under MSW?
See, MSWs trained to help people cope with and overcome social problems. Social workers generally enter in this field not for the money, but because they have a desire to help people is another fact that you must be aware of it. They often provide counseling and work as administrators, researchers, policymakers and planners. Could you please share yourself on your present learning and understanding on MSW studies and what you have gained so far. This can also help other, me and to all who are attached to this in many ways.
