what the hell is so un'PC about the word "secretary"?

Nothing really. I think that they found the phrase "Adminstative Professionals" more pleasing. Is it so "bad" that they would like to be known as such?

Who the hell do these "Administrative Professionals" think they're fooling. Do they have a degree in Administrative Professionaling?
Actually, it IS possible to have a degree in Applied and Information Technology. Although, when I was going to college, it was just Information Technology.

Oh, you mean like when I put the word "Specialist" after the phrase "Data Entry" so then it would look like "Data Entry Specialist" on my resume? Ah, but it looks SOOO much more professional than just "typist". No stupid ass "PC" reason necessary.

*"PC" is being wayyy overused nowadays...*
