When I was younger, I worked at a bank as a teller. The president of the bank made me an offer to be his secretary with a nice raise. Being young and it being one of my first jobs, I was pretty naive and accepted the job offer.
At first all was well... but, I was barely learning to type. One day I told him I didn't think I could do the job because typing wasn't a skill I had.
He looked at me with a look in his eyes and said, "I didn't hire you to type". That's all I needed to hear. I walked off the job and never looked back.
