Now what does that word mean - One who lives by money lending or usury, a money lender or usurer
Why that particular word is of interest to me is that I'm joining a bank pretty soon, try as I might my search strings did not reveal a single word that means bank in this particular sense of the word all that I found were words that mean river bank, as much as I'm not for that particular word, I will have to make do with that particular word for the simple reason that I simply cannot find another word to exactly mean what I want to say.
I never had any particular idea of becoming a banker per se but the pressures of wanting a job more than anything made me look at other avenues other than the areas I was looking at but even then I was particular that I would not go into marketing of systems. Dunno why, but I never had a great inclination towards that particular service industry, to this day my friend Abdul is after me to get into computer systems marketing, however he has not been able to entice me, thus far.. lets see what the future holds (well that's an entirely different story altogether)
Will I be a good banker, hell I jus dunno only time will tell, but one thing I can attest for is that my recruiters have taken a hell of a big gamble recruiting me, that much I know, why they asked me "What is there in a Balance Sheet" and I said "Profit and Loss",when I said this to my friends after the interview their first question was "Kanna wat does the P&L statement show?" and that is when it struck me "Oh! yeah there is a P&L statement right?" Now you tell me will I make a good banker? I know, I know you guys will be going like not a chance in hell, in a month of Sundays!!!! You know what, on second thoughts I'm thinking the same thing myself.
But as I assured my recruiters, Look everything you learn or acquire is based on your need for it, I didn't feel a great need for finance so far, now if there is a need for me to learn finance and about financial services, I will definitely learn and I have no doubt I can do that, considering the fact that there are some of my college-mates who consider themselves as finance geeks and they feel that their lives were meant only for finance, with people like these and my finance professors I think I can pretty much manage it. And guess what, they gave me a job!!!! Damn man all that tension prior to placements felt, at that particular moment at least, felt totally washed away, I was like By GOD I did it, I finally got a job. How and what I do there is an entirely different story which will be revealed by life later.
Looking forward to it??? You bet I do.
