What kind of education do you need for data entry jobs?

I'm curious to what I need to do to get in this field.Do I need to go to a technical college or do you think community colleges would offer it?

What kind of education do you need for data entry jobs?
I think a community college would do fine. Data entry is very simple. You need to know some software, however, like, Microsoft Excel, Access, as they are best to put in data.





Computer skills will also be needed.

Reply:Easy answer. No experience needed. Save your money, work for a while doing this job and eventaully go to a real 4 year college when you are ready. Hope this helps...
Reply:None. Umm, data entry is not a field of work. It's a job that one does for a while until they find a real job. Some companies might try to "BS" people, and ask for a degree for the job. That is really stupid because why would someone with a degree want that non-paying job? Yeah, employers will demand degrees for those jobs to add credibility to the job and pay. You might often see people with degrees getting those jobs out of a need to be employed. There aren't enough high paying jobs for people with degrees anymore. Plenty of people with degrees...not enough jobs. Since people have to justify their degrees, they end up doing jobs that don't require degrees.
