What is it like being a secretary? Pros and Cons. Should I do the 1yr or 2 yr program? Is it a good career choice?

Any other advice or comments will be appreciated. I am 20 years old btw. And I'm sick of working in factorys and fast food places!

Also what is the difference between a receptionist, secretary, and administrative assistant?

I think that the names are sort of interchangeable. Administrative Assistants often have more of an office manager roll than secretary's or receptionists do. It is a good profession but, some companies will require some sort of degree or certification for their administrative assistants.
