you can't go wrong with something to do with water....contamination, resources, flow, etc. more than 50% of jobs for geology / env. science grads these days are in the field of water resources.

Should I get a second Masters Degree in Human Resource Management

Should I get a second Masters Degree in Human Resource Management?
I already have an MS in Sociology. I work in HR but can't seem to get beyond the level of HR Assistant or Administrator. I can't take the PHR because I don't have enough exempt HR experience.

Yes.

Or, if you can afford the fees, an MBA. I have several friends who are now in senior positions in Human Resource Management - all are quite young, and all have an MBA. For some reason, MBA's are considered _the_ qualification for ensuring progress in the world of business - in all areas, including HR. Good luck, anyway, what ever you decide to study.

Is getting a Masters Degree in Management a good idea

Is getting a Masters Degree in Management a good idea?
I have a BS in Biology degree that is collecting dust in my front hall closet. I got that degree to please other people in my family. Now at 28 I've decide to follow my real dreams and start my own business in the catering/restaurant business. I want to go to Culinary School but I'm a Army wife and will be living in Korea for at least three years. I'm thinking about taking class online at Argosy University for a MS in Management. The idea is to get the degree, get a job in the food industry, learn the business on their time, and pay off student loan debt until I'm ready to start my business. Argosy is an accredited school but I keep reading reviews saying it's not worth it to get an online degree. That employer don't like to hire people with online degree. And Argosy is just want your money. Plus it doesn't help that I feel really pressured by the admissions rep. at Argosy. I guess my questions are: Is it really a good idea to get an online education? Is Argosy a good school? Is getting a MS in Management to vague like my degree in Biology was?

Sure they are pressuring you. They don't get many applicants, so they don't want to lose any. This is not going to be cheap as you said. I would put it off till you return to the states. Then you can attend a real school. Hopefully it will be in-state, and not cost you an arm an leg. Be patient!

No, I think it's a good degree. But I think an MBA would be even better if you can do it. To be honest, a degree is always better than no degree at all. And more and more schools are putting classes and degrees online. so it's becoming the norm now. don't let them pressure you though. you make your own decision. there are plenty of schools you could go to and plenty of classes you could take.

As a federal employee I got an MS in Mangmt, the govt paid for 2/3 and the classes were on govt time. Which leads me to believe it is a good educational track, and it would be applicable in any occupation. An online degree from an accredited university should be acceptable for the plan you propose. And, if the alternative is to do nothing for several years in Korea, it is a very good idea. It might be good to compare some other online universities, like American Public University System, Walden University, and there are some state universities with online programs. There could be some cost differences.

Most of those types of programs are offered in executive education short courses, or in certificate programs. An MBA would not address this specifically, although you could concentrate in operations and then seek a position at a consulting company that does these types of engagements.

It depends on if you already have a job and they give you a raise if you get your Masters then it would be beneficial If you are just starting out looking for a job and you have your masters degree it may work against you, because you don't have any real world experience.

Personally, I would not recommend it. Despite their massive advertising campaign, the University of Phoenix online has a fairly poor reputation. Depending on your situation, I'd recommend looking into the option of part-time or evening study at a local college or university (I'm assuming you are working now and can't do full-time study...but if you can, go ahead) or some reputable distance-education programs. There are several well-respected distance education programs out there, the key is to make sure they are associated with a well established university.
