Well that depends on starting pay for the position.

Well that’s exactly why I’m not sure If I should go for it, the earnings vary a lot, which makes it hard to make a decision

Basically, if you want to be in a higher paying position you need to have experience or an education (either way so you learn the proper protocol.)

I’ve done work in the administrative side of construction and project management for a while now. None of it really pays extremely well, although it does give me an opportunity to see if I want to be a project manager, and the skill set necessary to perform the work involved.

Yes, emphatically. It will “typecast” you as a secretary. Forever.
