dfrecore and bjcheung77 - you're both right!
I turned down a potential Comp Analyst opportunity recently because I didn't feel I had the experience for it (yes, I can really be that obtuse sometimes), and that was a huge mistake. My ideal position in HR would be in more of a data/analytics role, and less of a people role. And you're right - a Psych degree isn't going to cut it for that.
But...bjcheung77 essentially confirms my thinking that taking two steps back to finish a BSBA when I'm this far down the road toward the Psych degree would likely end up taking roughly the same amount of time as staying on my current path, and moving on to an MBA program that can be completed in a reasonable amount of time.
You all are helping me stretch my brain in ways that it wouldn't have otherwise. I appreciate it!
