A degree can definitely help you in this career especially if the position is asking for management and this will help you especially if you want to supervise or if the position allows you to supervise others.

It takes just somebody who is willing to learn who's a good people person and somebody who just really likes to help others. Being able to adapt is a very important skill in this position.

Strong excel skills. Being able to have strong communication skills is going to be key to be able to work with and communicate with your managers, your customers, internal and external.
Role Pro
One big pro of this is you can work in an in-person setting, hybrid or remote.
Role Advancement
In my current company that I work for I started as an admin assistant and I developed this position to be more of a management position. I've taken that to managing people and now actually taking over onboarding and doing more HR role, payroll.
Role Challenges
A Con can be that you can be working under a lot of pressure with a lot of competing demands especially if the company has a lot of internal and external customers. This career is definitely customer service related so if you don't like working with people I do not recommend it.
