Jobs and Careers in Human Resources have been rated as one of the most rewarding and fastest growing  not just in Nigeria but in countries like UK and US as well and indeed the entire world at large.  Recently MONEY Magazine and Salary.com researched hundreds of jobs, considering their growth, pay, stress-levels and other factors, and Human Resources Manager was rated as number 20 of the top 50 jobs with a 13% 10-year growth rate.  Now, Why would anyone want a career in human resources (HR)?  Many believe that HR professionals’ major purpose is to deal with a lot of administrative work and deal with solving employee conflicts – how boring and stressful.  That may have been the sentiment five or ten years ago, may be partly true for some roles – but not all.  Some people, current human resource professionals or others who witness the work of HR professional may still ask the question today. However, the majority of human resources professionals will tell you that, like any career, you have challenging responsibilities and you have the “necessary” responsibilities.  The idea is to do the “necessary” responsibilities effectively and efficiently to allow focus and energy on those challenging projects and responsibilities.
