By no means! A professional secretary has skills in interpersonal relationships, technical skills in computers, and highly polished skills in the subset skills of the particular company she works in.

If one maintains a professional demeanor, the position is highly rewarding. A secretary is today's 'Personal Assistant' to a businessman. He will guide his boss through the day with reminders of appointments, making documents that the company requires, answer questions from the public on behalf of his employer, and provide a buffer between the employer and the public.

In the US, the position of secretary pays well. It is a professional position and frankly, pays better than being a teacher of children. The well run office cannot do without a secretary! She is the holder of the files, the operating link between management and the public, and the organizer of information to and from her boss.

While the jokes about secretaries are many, the position is well paid and the work is rewarding. Before the days of the typewriting machine, secretaries were exclusively men, so being a secretary is not demeaning. Today's secretaries are called professional assistants in an effort to get away from the previous tarnished reputation that secretaries once had.
