Our bank hires people with all kinds of backgrounds (biologists, philologists) instead of those with proper economics or finance degrees. Management says that basic operations are easy to learn, but honestly, it feels frustrating and demotivating.
Would you be able to work like this? Because I’m honestly running out of patience.

    Yes, I could work like this. I've been very successful in technical positions with degrees in Business & Human Resource

What is needed is a strong centralized government. You are being duped. more

    That's wrong sometimes, guys with economic papers are too arrogant, proud and find it difficult to adjust with some new adjustment

    I have a degree in accounting and I could not get a job at any bank that I applied. I changed my resume at least two times to see if that would make a... difference to no avail. So this is frustrating to hear personally. more
