Mediocre compared to whom? Certainly, from what I've heard, the skills necessary for banking are, in this order:
With the general level of intellect being roughly "can pass freshman calculus but not necessarily an entire engineering degree." Certainly bankers aren't stupid, but if you compare their job to what's necessary in science, medicine, professional engineering, or law, I do think they're the "dumb jocks" of the smart crowd.
It's the term you used. I assume compared to the general population.
What do you call "banking"? As is true for every complex industry, there is a variety of things to be done which require diverse skills. An accountant, a salesperson, and an executive might all work in a bank but the skills they need are very different.
It appears in fact to be the term Izeinwinter used; so far as I know, Izeinwinter and eli_sennesh are not the same person.
Yes, this is correct.
