HR Or Finance...MBA Dilemma

hi !!
could you please help me out ?
I'm a student of MBA Iyr II semester..I have to choose my electives
since i'm from commerce background..i wish to take Finance as major...
but it comes to selecting an option for MINOR....I want to take HR as minor
But many of us at my college ....told me that HR is not good either for major or minor
coz..there are no job opportunities...
so....what shall i do?
IS HR (minor) good for a student who opts for Finance as major....
please pour ur views here....
thanks in advance....

Hi,
First i would like you suggest you to choose an option which you like most. from ur mail i got that u like Finance most. So go for that as Major and choose HR as minor. For any interview it doesnt matter whether it is a minor or major its only ur knowledge matters

Hi shailug,
do not take HR as minor but marketing. reason being taking HR in minor would not help u get into HR field as this field requires vast knowledge which u can not acquire by taking it as minor. your first choice is finance is pretty fine & taking marketing as minor would help u a lot. both the options would be opened for you. if not finance u can get into marketing. but in previous case it was not possible to get in hr(if HR -minor). I have seen people who are into finance started their career from marketing so in that way also it will help u out. see financial or we can say banking sector is always booming sector & this combination would take u right way. hope u agree wid my point....

Hi Shailug,
Think about what would you like to do in the future. Going for HR when you have a closer connection to finance might be a mistake. The job market will continue to change so you shouldn't focus on how things are now in order to pick a career path, or at least I wouldn't do it that way.
Consider the pros and cons of each choice, give it a lot of thought and make an educated decision. Good luck!
