Do you have typing CRED?

I am glad I took the typing class in high school, because if I did not, it would have been a horrendous struggle trying to type assignments for college. I would still be pecking away in frustration or paying people to type my papers. Back then I was never a speed typist. My focus was on accuracy with less emphasis on speed. A 75 wpm typist, I did not aspire to be, so when we had typing tests in the class, I always scored well in the accuracy category. My best effort was about 25-30 wpm error free.

This is one underrated skill, which holds teens and adults back from entry level jobs in customer service call centers, clerical, other positions, and growing a business. It is a skill I would put in the must have category for job preparedness. Take this typing test to see if you have improved since that high school course or have regressed. Typing should be a requirement for high school graduates. Correction, typing can start in kindergarten.
