Something my father was right about...

For as long as I can remember my father always told me that I should learn some type of a skill that would always be needed in the job market. I listened to him and got an associate degree in "Secretarial Sciences" and it has worked out to be exactly what he has said. Not only has the typing speed and other skills helped me with my blogging but I know that should I not be able to work from home anymore that I could get a job in anything from the data center services industry to actually going back and being an administrative assistant again. While technology changes, some of the same basic skills I learned in the late 70s still are needed...
