I type 80 wpm. 35 is slow but about average for what is required at first clerical jobs. Back in 1973 when I took the Government Civil Service typing test (on a manual typewriter, not even electric were standard yet!) one was supposed to be able to type 40 wpm with 3 errors; I was so worried about the errors I went way slow even though I'd had a teacher-training typing class in college and could easily do 60 wpm+ by then.
