I'm 19 years old and going to University and currently looking for employment; for all my working life, I have been in either food service or general labour jobs but I want to find something in more of a business environment. One of my best assets is my typing - I did a few tests at www.typingtest.com and found my average speed to be about 100 WPM with around 95% accuracy. I know that's good, but I read that some administrative assistants require 120 WPM? Is that true?
In any case, are their many jobs available for 19 year old males with good typing skills? I wouldn't be opposed to working as a secretary, but no one hires male secretaries as far as I know. What other jobs are there where I could put my skills in this area to use?

100 wpm is actually kinda average.... alot of jobs require 120 - 130 wpm.... But you can always try data entry...

I think a typist or a an accountant will be the best. The question is even if your typing speed is fast what happens if the computer is not as fast as you.
