I was an HR Generalist for about a year. I fell into it by accident: I had actually interviewed for another job, but the GM really thought it would be a good fit. I did like it, but the pay was not very good.
Most of those at my current employer company were psychology majors; some now have Master's Degrees and one has a PhD. We also have two that are licensed social workers. Many of them did internships during the summer or as part time jobs (some did it pro bono). My one friend got her position because she spoke several languages and understood the Work Visa process (we employ a lot of people who have just finished their PhDs in the US and aren't ready to go home)
Responsibilities can vary on the size of the organization. At a small company, you could be doing everything from interviewing and placing ads, to benefits and employee mediation. At larger firms, you will probably have one specific role.
Pros: You know a lot of people in the company and most of them will like you.
Cons: Legal Issues and RIFs.
