What do I have to take in community college if I want to be a secretary?

I don’t have a counselor. O_o

are you saying that there is no councler at the college you want to go?

Well, I guess there is…but I don’t know who they are.

you can go to the college website and they should have a concler or call any number from the college and tell them if theres a way you can talk to somone about you mayor and what you classes you would have to take. then they will transfer you to somone that does know and they will tell you where to meet and time and date. that how it worked for me and the councler went through every class i had to take and if i was considering transfering… my college thing where i met my councler was college succes councler maybe they might have one.

Your going to mainly be looking at computer classes, look for ones that teach you how to use certain programs and softwares, any type of data processing class would be helpful also. It all depends on what the college you attend offers.

Okay, thanks! :)

Technically you do not need to get an AA to become an administrative assistant. My advice, find a job while you are getting the AA. The work experience is far more valuable than the AA degree. That being said, I think you should still go for the AA. It will help you get promoted, be competitive in finding a job, and just generally provide you with more opportunities. You’ll need computer classes, basically typing, word processing, data entry and software skills. Communication classes would be helpful. Any sort of business classes or even just getting a business certificate. If you plan on making it a long term career, you may want to get into a field that you find interesting. Get a certificate in that area.
