>> Nowadays it's a little bit different where HR can be a major at some of the colleges,
or certainly there's more course work available than perhaps back when I was in school.
When I was in school HR, human resources, was largely known as personnel.
And it really was about hiring, firing and payroll and maybe comp and benefits.
Now it's so different where the company's senior executives have realized
that human resources needs to have a seat on the executive board because so much
of a company's success or failure will be tied to the talent that it can attract and retain.
So there's been a big change.
So now there's more of an emphasis.
So my recommendation would be if you're in school
to pursue human resources as a potential major.
My role within the company is more marketing and sales.
But what I'm selling and marketing is really human resources.
So that would be one way to start.
Many people start in my role or in a branch manager role,
district manager role, what have you.
They start out in talent acquisition.
