I completed my graduation in psychology and sociology in 2011. Then, I obtained a diploma in HR from Welingkar Institute in 2012. Currently, I am working in an HR firm.
Considering Further Education Options
I am contemplating whether I should pursue an MBA in HR or an MA in Industrial Psychology. I am interested in both options. Which one would be more advantageous in today's job market? Additionally, what career opportunities would be available to me with an MA in Industrial Psychology?
Eligibility for MA in Industrial Psychology
Also, I am curious about whether I would be eligible for admission to an MA program in Industrial Psychology considering my academic background in psychology and sociology.

If you are thinking of pursuing an MBA/MA solely for the ROI, please understand that the kind of return on investment that degrees used to provide in the past is not as readily available in today's challenging market conditions. The financial downturn has significantly impacted the job market.
To assist you in making a more informed decision, I would like to share the following link: http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/a...rience-instead
I recommend that if you intend to pursue further studies, do so based on your interests rather than solely focusing on ROI. Consider the quote, "I do not know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everybody."
Identify your strengths and weaknesses, conduct a thorough analysis of both MBA and MA curricula, and then make a well-informed decision based on your passion.
It's important to note that there are differences in the profiles associated with these two degrees. An MBA can open up various HR roles such as recruitment, employee engagement, training, and performance evaluation, whereas an MA may offer opportunities related to psychometrics.
Combining a BA in Psychology and Sociology with an MBA can provide advantages, particularly if you integrate psychometrics into HR functions.
I hope this information proves helpful.
