I have both but I feel that an HR degree is more valuable. It took me 4 years and countless amounts of homework and tests to earn my degree. I earned my PHR by studying for 3 months and passing 1 test.

I would agree. I havent' got a degree, and was able to get my PHR in the 13-week class and one test.
My question would also be... how do I transition into more of a HR types of roles with the PHR certification, but not a degree. Looking for something on the east coast from Boston to Washington, DC |

I would go with the degree first. A lot of positions state degree required. I know experience should count for something, but some company policies would exclude you without the degree whether you had the PHR or not.

I, too, am studying for the PHR certification with the SHRM Learning Guides. If you need a study buddy, let me know.
