Thanks for the great info, guys (and gals). So it sounds like adding a HR cert or double major would be a good idea. Time to go my "walkingstick". Maybe find some education courses to add to my general electives (still have 3 I need to fill, but was leaving them for last).
I think I will do that MSI cert to start out, and then possibly try to work my way into that position (it's not even a position at this point in time, it could be a year from now or more). I will be taking on safety-type training roles before then (and already do on a small scale), so that should help. I am trying to weasel my way into as many places as I can to gain experience in safety and training in general.
Anyways, thanks for opening my eyes to some of this stuff. That UC SD looks interesting if it looks like I will need an extra boost, or a higher-level training position is something I want to pursue. Soon as I get this degree and any other TESU stuff knocked out, I think I will do that MSI. Thanks again, guys. This forum is so great.
It looks like the "double major" would be easier....in the cert, I need 3 specific courses I have never seen before. In the degree, I need "organizational theory and development" (or something like that) and 2 random HR electives (they counted project management, so maybe other management courses would work).
