My cousin George did exactly this. He started his career working the overnight shift at a regional bank in the lowest level position, sorting and processing checks. (Remember those?)
When I asked him about it back then, his answer was a bit like Willie Sutton: "I want to learn how money works."
Over the years he rose through the ranks, and a couple of mergers and acquisitions later, he became president of Wells Fargo!

- dotancohen 5y agoI was thinking maybe cousin George was president in 1996.
- Stratoscope 5y agoThank you for the fact check. George was president and regional chairman of Wells Fargo Oregon, and a Federal Reserve board member. In my Oregonian family we just thought of him as "president of Wells Fargo", thus my overstatement last night. In any case his story did have some parallels with the 100-year-old Brazilian: https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Man+about+town-a075960746 https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Man+about+town-a075960746 https://www.google.com/search?q=george+passadore+wells+fargo https://www.google.com/search?q=george+passadore+wells+fargo
