What words of advice and encouragement would you give to someone just starting out in HR?

HR has so many aspects from labor relations, to recruiting, risk management, and personnel development. I would encourage individuals just starting out to explore career options, shadow a HR professional, gain experience through an internship, or conduct an informational interview.
