Should I Double Major In Psychology?

HR jobs are very difficult to break into without solid internships and experience, so don’t expect to hop into one just because you majored in psychology and economics. I would agree with the above advice and take what is necessary to get you into a masters program, but not double. I have a BA in psychology and work in HR, but the degree didn’t help me make that move - having a job at the same company in a different and unrelated department, as well as networking is what has helped me to break into the field by making a lateral move in the company. Many HR folk didn’t start out in HR, and many others got their first jobs through their internships. Do you have time to do an internship or two in HR? And why do you want to go in that direction if you’re interested in counseling?
