A good way to learn more about this field is by conducting information interviews with various banking professionals. Suggested interview questions include: What made you want to enter this career? What do you like most and least about your job? What advice would you give to young people about preparing for the field and being successful on the job? You also should read all the literature banks produce in order to learn about different types of accounts and saving mechanisms.
