The requirements of today’s secretary are changing. The ability to use a computer or a word processor is a major skill now required for office support personnel by a sizeable number of firms. This is a trend expected to continue with an even greater emphasis on computer usage in the future. This will make it more critical than ever for those pursuing a position in this field to have an excellent keyboarding skill in order to make the best use of the costly equipment. A student deciding on a career in this field will also find that the role assumed by any office support staff members is that of an assistant to a person at the management level. More and more of the titles used in offices of today reflect this trend. It is quite common now for a secretarial position to have a title of an administrative assistant or an executive assistant. A college degree for positions such as these, however, may be stipulated.

The value of an education has been a topic discussed many times with a great deal of zest. The value is often measured in terms of cost and benefits to the taxpayer. It is also judged in terms of changes in the individuals taking part in the educational process. Gains in the level of knowledge, the development and refinement of attitudes, and the acquiring of skills are believed to be crucial parts of an education.
Education is a never-ending process. A person is exposed to formal and informal education throughout his or her life. Formal learning takes place in a structured situation such as a school or a college. Informal learning occurs from the experience gained from daily living. We are constantly from all the types of media with which we come in contact each day as well as by each person with whom we exchange ideas.

The big bug behind the door. In this book it really focuses on the suspense and when it leads up to the suspense wheather your ready or not it will scare you. Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself.
