My decision to join the HR field was not an accident or a Plan B. There is little routine in the human resources work. There is always new employment legislation that needs to be studied, there are always changes in industries that one has to learn and needs to adapt to, and there are always jobs evolving and professionals evolving with them, needing appropriate professional counseling. In order to succeed in HR, one has to have a real interest in other people's careers and their development and to commit to the core culture of an organization and work on improving that continuously. It's not necessarily an intuitive kind of work, and people who claim that they are in HR because they "love people" are in the field, in my opinion, for the wrong reasons. It is the kind of work that requires one to perfect thought processes, to keep abreast of new events and developments in the workforce, and to challenge intellectual assumptions about human psyche.
