Hi Kank,
It depends on what industry u r focusing and what u can contribute as an HR.
For me - I felt finance was of no use and engineerign was of no use - just a waste!! (reason: I could not do it, I was pathetic in those subjects).
And just becos ur fiancee lost his job - that does not mean the whole world has given up on HR. There are HR strategies that would serve to be very useful during recession and can help a company be strong.
So it depends on ur need to be in the field, ur passion and drive to excel.
If u are only thinking abt career - security - money: Pls dont chose HR. Because unless and until u have the urge within u to be patient, creative and FEARLESS, u cant succeed.
Patience is very necessary in this profile. And above everything a very thoughtful and professional approach - becos u will meet 100 of Ravis (the person who first answered ur question) and u will have better job to do than convincing these ppl why HR is beneficial.
Stay focused in what u want?
Is it the money?
Is it the fame?
Is it job security?
So - please sit and think:
What r ur strong areas
What are ur interests
Where will u see urself in the next few years
Which company / industry can support you
Which company / industry will need u
What u can deliver
what u cant deliver
Then you would know what u should chose.
Above all - chose the right company, which is open to change.
Good Luck!
Well is ur fiancee looking out for an opportunity in the South - let me know. I have a position vacant for Manager - HR.
Thanks!

mr Kank,
Let me tell you and other members who disowned credibility of worth of HR.
World over and including India a major population of intellectuals engaged in this profession which is designated in many job titles such as:
Labour officer
Labour Welfare Officer
Personnel Officer/manager
Human Resources manager
Employee Relations Manager
Industrial Relations Manager
Compensation & Benefits Manager
Performance Management and Organization Development manager
etc etc many facets of HR exist and millions of people are earning and creating wealth in all walks of life from Financial instutions, Manufacturing sector, IT sector, Service Sector, Pharma Sector etc HR people making good careers and earn good respect, wealth and enjoy this profession.
You must not ask whether HR is worth your question should how many people in HR are real worth to HR.
If you have worth knowledge in HR you will be definately rewarded. I worked in India for 17 years including Private Limited companies to Public Sector companies and working overseas since five years just because of my MIRPM Indian University.
This profession has offered me all benefits that one dreams in life.
This profession has immense potential for growth, economic and intellectual prosperity but survival in this profession is only of the fittest. therefore HR is profession of more worthy people..
You can not survive with government servent kind of slow motion approach or else you should be lucky enough to find job in Government sector to rest whole life in one place to retire from there which seems difficult.

Hi Kank..
Asha & Badlu have answered yr query very well..
Just wanted to add that please dont think of "choosing" or "Leaving" any career dimension just because of the influence from others.. Every stream has its own importance in the organisation.. Without which org. cannot grow.. & HR being the only department dealing with Living resources.. Its really a challenging job & one needs to be really Patient + Dynamic in his/her's approach..
Its really bad that yr fiancee has lost his job.. Hope he will get a new one soon.. Many of our CITE HR seniors may help in that..

HR is worth it only if you believe in it. It is not just an office job which is relaxing with no targets. It is more dynamic than ever before and yes since we have this slowdown, only people who can prove their worth will do well...
It is not the department which is bad...
Thanks.

kank and pragya tell me one thing k which is a field in which there is no struggle? ups and downs are eternal law of universe...! does a child leaves his efforts to walk after every time he falls? first thing trust ur self...! u are the best frd or the worst enemy of ur ownself...! if u have to conquer anybody then conquer urself...! & as far as ur goal or destination is concerned then follow this golden rule- "pray & trust god, aim high, stay focused and give ur 100%... the success will be urs....!" with warm regards....!

Hello Kank,
Asha has said much of what you should be doing.
But to add, FIRST & FOREMOST decide whether you will fit for the HR type of job/role. Just because you see some X getting a lot of reputation doesn't mean you can achieve it too. Each job role needs a different temperment/attitude to make a success of it.
I meet quite a lot of BE/B Tech freshers as a part of the job that I do who just used to give the reason for opting IT jobs [not anymore now though]: the salaries are very good, with a chance to go abroad on the company's expense. They don't even think if their comm skills, analytical abilities, etc are good enough for such a job.......and in the process waste a lot of their time in pursuing such goals for which they wouldn't jell.
So in a nutshell, DECIDE IF HR [or any other career option for that matter] IS GOOD FOR YOU BASED ON THE COMPATIBILITY OF YOUR ABILITIES [which is where a lot of what Asha said applies] to the choice AND NOT ON WHO MADE THIER MARK IN THAT OPTION...even if it's your fiancee.

first of all we all should be thankful to the cite hr community for providing these type of platform where we can share our views and ideas and be helpful to all the member for their guideance this can be done by h.r professional because we are not dealing with machine which is a simple programme , we are only dealing with living people who have emotions ,feeling and who can response react positive or negative as per the situations.
now regarding the job (H.R)which we have opted for is really worth or not please dont judge yourself or make decision depending on other experience ..in todays scenario thousands of people have lost thier jobs so are they from H.R ???
and regarding job oppurtunity; without H.R manpoer cant be handeled ,without manpower prouction cant be done without production revenue cant be generated .
we the h.r people act as the agent of catalyst and without catalyst the desiderd performance cant be achived .
So just cheer up and be positive
