Banking as a profession

Scope from the above prefatory remarks it can be gathered that banking as a profession has the potentiality of providing work for thousands of young men. The start on the profession, it must be admitted, is not very encouraging and the work is hard especially for the first few years. The hours of office work are generally long and holidays are few and far between. But withal this, banking affords really good prospects for the person with a steady mind who is not afraid of hard work and has lot patience in him. A junior clerk who has had no previous training will have to being at the very lowest rung of the ladder and may have to pick up office routine business of sorting and filing the papers, affixing rubber stamps, bringing the pass books of customers’ accounts up date, assisting in classifying the cheques sent in for payment. Later on he may be entrusted with entries in the ledger - a more responsible and therefore; better paid work is done systematically by the clerical staff. Thus from the counter he may be promoted to the chair. If he is found efficient, he may be given charge of a branch as its manager, in which case he will be responsible for all that is done in the branch and will have to exercise great deal of caution in the amount of credit he allows to businessmen, the way in which he tackles business problems and the manner in which he organizes the work. In the last years of his service he may get a really good post of responsibility at the head office.

It must be made clear that banking does not encourage men who want to get rich quick. The progress is slow but steady and for the competent person there are really good jobs at the top.
