Most customer service jobs require a high school diploma or equivalent, but even that is not always required. It's rare for customer service jobs to require formal post-secondary education.

where your career is headed

Customer service jobs are often viewed as a starting point to enter the workforce. Entry-level customer service jobs are extremely common and have notoriously high turnover.

Additionally, customer service jobs are a great foundation for many other careers. With your customer service experience, you can look to careers in marketing, sales, PR, or other service-oriented fields. Obtaining a degree specializing in the field of your choice will help you focus on your career path.
