HR Bashing..

Yesterday was the first time that I actually missed home after I came here… had a really bad day yesterday… had a really useless class (Financial Mgmt.) followed by a mind numbing Guest lecture… As if this were not enough, some of my friends decided to have a good laugh about the fact that I was doing HR and how insignificant and boring it was… Why am I so sensitive to this issue???... I know that this will be the scenario even in the workplace and have been told as much by my friends but my question to them is… Why the hell should I start practicing for the future now??... Even some of my “knowledgeable” lecturers seem to think that HR is redundant… I don’t think a company would come all the way to SCMHRD, pick up an HR student and pay him 8 lakhs p.a if they thought his function in the organization was zilch… Anyway, at the end of the day, HR placements are really good and that’s all I care about…The junior football team lost to the seniors 1-0… Was quite disappointing but the juniors did put up a good fight… Overall, a really forgettable day for me…
