The business department at the Center has, or is acquiring, IBM electric typewriters, a Commodore PET computer, electronic calculators and more. Students can be assured of obtaining, the best instruction possible in office machine technology. Bar-fus- the job of a secretary is becoming more demanding and more lucrative. This year's secretary could easily become next year's executive. The efficiency of any organization depends upon secretaries that function at the center of communi-catio- n in their firm. Because of their unique positions they usually understand as much about the operation of the organization as their boss does. Mr. Harvey Rubenstein, head of Victoria Place ( a national secretarial agency), reports that the entry level salary for a corporate secretary with one year's experience and a typing speed of 65 to 70 wpm can be as high as $9,500 to $11,000 per year. The salary for a secretary with experience, shorthand skill and perhaps a B.A. degree ranges from $12,000 to $15,000 a year. Soon the same qualifications will be earning $15,000 to $22,000.
