Mid+America+Center--Nick's+Thank+You

All the fifth graders in Council Bluffs, Iowa went to the Mid America Center to learn about different jobs to do when they grow up. Some of the sessions were a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or construction worker. Some of the fifth graders might of thought, 'I don't want to be a doctor when I grow up.' But they might go to that session and learn stuff they never knew about a doctors job before, and might just want to be a doctor after they got done.

So, today I am going to teach you about one of the sessions I learned about which was Banking. I willl teach you about what Education do you need to be a Banker, and what you need to know to be a Banker. Most people think Banking is the easiest job in the world, just counting money and giving it back to people, or having to say, "Have a nice day please come again." Its not. There is three things you need to know about Banking.

The first thing I learned is you need to know is your money. Like counting it your head so if someone give you a one-hundred dollar bill, and they ask to make it in to twenties you have to know that you need five twenties in like not even the snap of your fingers. Another thing you need to know is how to write a check out. So if someone doesn't know how to write a check you can ach them how to, or say if "Joe Low" wanted to have a loan of three-hundred dollars and didn't write a signature at the bottom of the check, you wouldn't know who would have to pay you back for the loan. That is why you have to know your money in Banking.

Another thing I learned about was to be a banker you have to have a Education. All you need is to have a High-School Diploma to be a banker, but you won't start at the best paying job you can get. I will talk about that later.

And finally, the last thing I learned about will talk about is one of the jobs as a Banker and that would be a Personal Banker. A Personal Banker is one of the lowest jobs you can get. You only get paid about five to ten- thousand dollars a year. But as you work there longer you can move up to a higher job like owning your own Banking business, and get about fifteen-thousand a year.

Over all I think that we should be very thankful that the Volunteers pushed their time to teach us about their jobs.
