Its funny how every father, mother, son who wants to join the banking sector wants to be an investment banker or dealer/trader when 99% of people who work in the industry are in not in these areas.

Nobody mentions anything about doing consumer banking which employs a gazillion people doing everything from credit card services, mortgage loans, financial planning, credit analytics, retail banking IT, risk management, GIRO, settlements etc

Or corporate banking from SME banking to wholesale corporates, credit analysts, trade operations, account services, cash management, treasury operations,

Or the internal bank roles like internal audit, finance and accounting, human resources and strategy and planning.
