Well the salary of the secretary varies and depends upon with whom he or she is working with the nature of work and duties and responsibilities. The average salary of secretary is about $1000 to $5000 and it also depends on the organization  you are working with.

 It depends on what type of secretary you want to be, and where you live, what company you work for, and the going market rate for secretaries.  There are many types of secretaries--regular clerical office secretary, receptionist, medical secretary, legal secretary, etc.  You can expect to make at least $8/hour in any of those positions, and likely more than that, anywhere up to about $20+/hour.
