If you've ever been the banker in Monopoly, then you know it's a pretty sweet gig. Bankers control the flow of dollars in and out of their banks. They meet with customers about different banking options, they examine and approve loan applications, they recruit and train their own staff, and they're always networking to bring in more business.
