“Why would I apply for a job in a bank? These brochures honestly sound like Chinese to me and the nearest I got to studying Banking and Finances was when I overheard their teacher while running down a corridor to make it to my Spanish class. Plus, I wouldn’t know how to save money if it meant saving my own life.”

This is often what most people think when their uncle asks them from the other side of Sunday family’s lunch table why they wouldn’t apply for a job in the banking sector. After all, it’s renowned for being the most stable one in the country.

Although it’s quite hard to believe, your uncle isn’t completely wrong and there are a few career paths you would surprise to know you can pursue inside a bank.
