My Future Career I have had problems deciding which career field I would like to go into. I have to admit that I haven 't really researched the two careers that seem to suit me. I have been looking into Human Resources and Child Development. I know these are two completely different careers, but they are both something I think I would enjoy. I have found all the pros and cons of each career and hopefully I will be able to choose which one I want to do soon. The first career I am going to talk about and share my information with you is the Human Resources career field. I have done a lot of researching and have found a lot of information on this career. There are definitely good things and bad things about any career, and fortunately I have found a lot of good things in this career. I have also found a lot of information about this career that I did not know before. I have found that Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who comprise the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors or even whole nations ( Human Resources, 2010). I have also noted that you can find a Human Resources job almost anywhere. This job is available in hospitals, retail environment, and there are also human resource jobs available within the city work field. While researching the Human Resources career, I have learned about the background of the career. The use of the term 'human resources ' by organizations to describe the workforce capacity available to devote to the achievement of its strategies has drawn upon concepts developed in Industrial Psychology and System Theory. The original usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called labor, one of four factors of production– although this perspective has shifted as a consequence of further ongoing research
