What qualifications do I need and how would I go about becoming a secretary? I have always dreamed of working like at a school or a law office or something along the lines of that as a secretary, can anyone help get me started?

There are a lot of community colleges and / or technical type colleges where you can take classes and get a qualifying degree in as little time as a year. They teach you the data processing, word processing and spreadsheet type courses that will help you in becoming qualified for any of those positions that you seek. A lot of them will cator your classes to the exaft field you seek. If you want to get in with a law firm, you can take classes to learn about the exact programs you would need to know to work in a law firm. There are even online courses you can take that would assist you in gaining the knowledge necessary to get the positions you desire.

You probably need to know Microsoft office and type pretty fast. I would check around some law offices and business schools inquire about becoming a legal secretary or whatever. Then maybe work as an intern at a law office if you're a business college student to see if it's your type of job you want to do for the next 20 to 30 years.

A dream job? Secretary? That sounds boring to me.
