Can we retrain?
We know we’ve already gone through 3+ years of college, but can we have a do-over? Please?
Well, no we can’t, but we sure wish we could after seeing what these graduates earn.
A recent survey by Business Insider and Emolument has found that graduate jobs in the world of banking and finance pay up to £85,000 (€95,000) a year, even though you might be only out of university a few months.
The findings saw that those with quantitative skills are likely to be the highest paid, with a salary of £65,000, as well as a £20,000 end-of-year bonus.
Nice.
Having quantitative skills in banking means specialising in the application of mathematical and statistical methods – such as numerical or quantitative techniques – to financial and risk management problems.
People working in structuring come in second with an annual take home pay of around £60,500, while bankers in institutional sales earn around £58,000.
Structuring is the practice of executing financial transactions such as making bank deposits in a specific pattern, calculated to avoid triggering financial institutions to file reports required by law.
So, we ask again… is it too late to go back to college?
