How much do Bank Tellers usually start out making?
You can do better than a teller job. You wouldn’t make much doing that either. A lot of banks have management development programs. What they do is hire you in and start training you with courses, job shadowing and seminars. You will work several positions within a bank to see where you fit best. The trade off here is that if they are short staffed at a particular branch or department, you might have to cover there until they find a replacement. Then, after about a year or so of floating around, they will place you into a permanent position. It is a nice way to figure out where you would most like to start out. Best of all, they just want a bachelor’s degree…most banks don’t care what kind of bachelor’s degree it is, just as long as you have one. I’m sure business degrees may get a little more weight, but I’ve seen it range anywhere from teaching to tourism.
