A friend of mine was a bank teller and she hated it. She said the customers were rude and hard to deal with. Hey, you are dealing with lots of money, I wouldn't was to be responsible for all of it. I have heard that you have to have really good credit to become a bank teller.

Most important thing is you have to have a good credit. Banks don't like people who have bad credit rating.
