Most places need receptionists and front office people. You'll need to be proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, be able to answer phones professionally, understand how to direct customer requests, be able to learn new software quickly and understand how to manage your time.
With office administration, you can likely work up to being an office manager, once you understand the business and can deal with day to day issues (eg the printer isn't working or a customer is creating issues).

Getting certified in Office Administration is incredible versatile and allows you to work in a diverse range of industries, I have worked in import/export businesses, law firms and tech companies. You learn a lot and pick up in-demand skills along the way and you get an overview of how the whole business works that you sometimes do not get in other more specialized positions. You can use it to your advantage as a stepping stone into roles that you find interesting that you may have not know much about until working at a particular company.
