Interest in banking careers has collapsed. by Sarah Butcher 5 hours ago There was a time when banking careers were all about high prestige, high potency and high pay. Now, they are more associated with tedium and huge hours. Unsurprisingly, this combination does not appeal to todayâs teenagers, who view banking careers as only marginally more appealing than a future working on building sites. The Financial Times reports that survey of 1,100 parents of children under 18 found that most young people (34%) now want to work in IT, following by engineering (23%), followed by policing, healthcare, architecture, law, hospitality, social work and pharmaceuticals. Only 9% of young people these days want to work in financial services, just ahead of the number who want to work in the construction industry. Financial services jobs are seen as âboringâ and numerical. 66% of parents think finance jobs are very stressful; 44% think they have no social value. http://news.efinancialcareers.com/u...anking-careers-collapsed-best-mbas-rapid-roi/
