-: You'll learn that analysis critical thinking.
You know, and I know it's kind
of cliche to say that,
but it's true.
You have to learn to...
You know, you can get some numbers
that add up to something,
you know, but you have to understand
more about that.
So whatever you can do
to expose yourself to
more in-depth thinking.
You know, digging down deeper,
not just stopping at the surface
of two plus two equals four.
But you know, what does that mean?
Is four the right number?
Is four not the right number?
You know, do you need to have five?
So, you know, it's all
of that,
it's more of that,
I'd say that digging deeper,
asking more questions
and listening type stuff.
I've seen bankers in commercial banking roles.
With degrees in lots of different disciplines,
you know, I mean I've seen some
that are psychology majors.
I've see some that, you know,
went in and
they were marketing majors.
But then they got out
or did an internship or something like that.
And it's all this other part
of banking that they didn't
really know existed and they're like,
"Hey I like that."
You know, so what we're looking for,
as much as anything is,
again, that ability
to consult with,
with a client.
That's really what we're looking for.
And you can get that in lots
of different disciplines.
You know what?
Again, what I would recommend is,
to somebody,
is to try to, you know,
if they wanted to get into banking,
what I would recommend them doing is
going out over the summer
and either becoming a teller.
A customer service rep.
Or getting some sort of internship.
In any department in the bank.
It could be in HR,
it could be in marketing,
it could be in credit,
it could be at the branch, you know?
You know, dipping your toes in
and finding out there's a lot more
to banking than just what you see
at a branch.
