a high school diploma is sufficient for these
jobs, the focus of this section will be on
the types of classes students can take, even
while in high school, to prepare for this
career.
Skills are needed in the areas listed below.
If you don't have these skills you can take
a class in high school, at a local community
college, or adult education center, or possibly
learn it on your own:
-

Typing (word processing: Microsoft Word
