HR career question kindj 07/10/03
    I graduated from college in 2000 at the ripe old age of 32, having gotten the money for school from spending several years in the service of our dear ol' Uncle Sam. Anyway, I graduated with B.A.'s in English and Psychology, because at the time of filing my degree plan (~1998) one of the career fields for a 4-year degree in psych was HR. Well, when I graduated, I discover that they had added specific courses in HR and even degrees specializing in it.

    My problem is that I would like to get into it, but first of all my education now counts against me. In addition, it was necessary for me to take pretty much whatever job came along that would pay the bills, as the company that my wife worked for was going under and laying folks off. However, the "silver lining" is that this current job of mine has sharpened my interviewing skills considerably, although not necessarily in the way that HR might use them.

    So what say ye? Have I a prayer? I'm now 35 and trying to change careers; or rather, get into the one I originally wanted.
