Answer: Counting other's money, keeping its record,
en-cashing cheques and drafts cannot be an interesting work, someone
may say cynically. There cannot be personal involvement and
originality in doing such a work, others may think. They may consider
bank employees to be computers, adding and subtracting all the time.
But this is decidedly a better career.
Bank employees develop the habit of saving something
for their difficult times. When they find that the bank balances of
petty shop-keepers are swelling up, they feel the urge to save some
amount of money. This implies that they start spending with
extra-caution. They try to get the maximum return from every penny they
spend.
They develop social contacts with a number of
businessmen. Some may say that all the public dealing organizations
widen the social circle. But in other offices you may have favor them
by doing some work which may be illegal. In the case banks if a cheque
is cleared as soon it is received the person is quite satisfied. These
contacts help in a number of ways.
By working in a bank one becomes quite cautious and
scientific in doing one's work. The scientist's accuracy needed for
marking entries become the bent of one's mind. Accurate working
qualifies a person for a better life. It is the slipshod work and
haphazard approach that become hurdles in one's progress.
In banks the work is almost independent. Even
officers have not to interfere in the work of their subordinates. That
is why there is not much of bossism in banks. The atmosphere quite
cordial and it becomes homely as soon as the public dealings come to an
end.
Above all a career in the banks is quite promising.
As compared with other departments a person can have quicker promotion
in the banks. Banks make us materialistic in outlook, which may be
denounced by the spiritualists and other's but which is a fact of the
modern life. One can find thrill even in the most dull and
uninteresting work. If Galileo can be thrilled by looking at the stars
why not a bank employee by finding a mistake in the entries, Life
yield charm if we respond to it favorably.
