I am Shalini, working as an HR Executive in a small company for the past 5 months and earning only 7k. In the beginning, my director told me that for only 2 months, my stipend would be 7k, and after that, I would surely get more than that. Likewise, he informed me so when I asked for a salary hike after completing my training. However, he is now telling me to wait for still another 3 months.
Career Dilemma: HR vs. Teaching
In this case, I have received a job offer at a college as a lecturer. I am unsure if I should move into the teaching field and whether I can switch my career back to HR in the future. I am really confused; please provide your suggestions, seniors.

Hi, Ms. Shalini,
You have to decide about your career. If you feel being a lecturer is better, then you can join a college. If you want a career in HR, then it is better to look for opportunities in the HR field only. Changing from HR to a lecturer and then switching back to HR later will be difficult. I am not saying it's impossible, but it may pose challenges.
Thank you.

Hi Shalini,
Everyone will have one dream job, what is yours? If looking upon the teaching profession is only for the salary, then let me tell you, the theoretical knowledge which we gain from college will only help us speak in HR language. When it comes to the practical situation, you need to be hands-on. Also, having experience in the teaching profession will not be considered as core experience when it comes to Human Resources. Good luck!

Thank you, Mahr, for your reply. My dream job is HR, but my siblings tell me that after marriage, teaching is considered to be secure. Moreover, they believe it is not suitable to be in the HR field after marriage. This has caused much confusion for me. I am uncertain whether to pursue teaching or remain in HR. Otherwise, I would always prefer to be in HR.

Dear Shalini,
Be very clear about your decisions in life. Depending on family or friends to decide for you is wrong. You need to be sure about your vision. What is right for your siblings may not necessarily be right for you. Their life is very different from yours. So, decide where you would be comfortable working and then choose the same.
