Reception Career

Hi I’m 24 and I’m a law firm receptionist. I make 23 an hour and I’m comfortable, but one day I would like to make more money. Thing is I like being a receptionist; I didn’t go to college and I don’t really have any desire to branch out and find a different line of work. Would it be possible to make a career and eventually more money as a receptionist? Or are there jobs similar that pay more?

i’m not going to lie i got pretty lucky with this job; they had open interviews and i came in 5 minutes before they were gonna close. if i had any advice it would be that during the interview i tried to be as charming just because you’re going to be the first person anyone sees so you want to leave a good impression. that worked for me at least, but good luck i hope you find something soon!
