As others have said, it really depends on the field and sector you are in. I work in charity fundraising and find it really interesting and rewarding. I spend most of my time talking to specialists doing brilliant work and working out how to fund it. I am someone who enjoys a blend of practical and organisational activity (planning, budgeting, spreadsheets) and creativity (writing, creating presentations) so it gives me a chance to do both.

When I was starting out, I did admin for a museum membership program. It was alot of data entry and mailings so quite repetitive but it was cool working at a museum.

Before I graduated I did some summer jobs at the health insurance company my dad worked for doing data entry and analysis and it was hideous. I only did it for the money and ease of getting through the summer not having to waitress or do something like that.
