I remember that the first thing people told me when I said I want to be an HR was whether I wanted to do so because it's an easy job. Others supported my decision saying HR is good for me because I'm a girl and yet others advised against it because they felt that there's no future in HR. 

Today as I eagerly wait to convert my HRM calls, I can see many others around me wondering whether this field is good for them.
