Is More Education Better?

Source: HR Lady

Now that you are done with our diploma or degree, do you feel the need to get more education? Will advancing your academics give you an advantage or should you wait?

Here is a similar dilemma from a job seeker.

I finished my Bachelor of Human Resources Management back in 2003. I haven’t worked since but am looking for work now. I know that while I have the degree I lack real world experience and as such have been looking for an entry level HR job with moderate success. My question though goes to education.

My friends and family have encouraged me to begin looking at getting my Masters degree. I am not opposed to the idea but I’m unsure as what to get it in. Human Resources is the field I want to work in.

Should I attempt to get my MA in Human Resources even though I have my BA in it already or should I look to something outside my field? I’m getting conflicting opinions from those around me. Some people are telling me to stay in the field I love while others are telling me to get a degree in something else (MBA?) to show that I’m well rounded.

Please help
