Best Jobs For Former Tellers [2023]

It’s tough to be a teller nowadays, and more and more of them are losing confidence in their own profession.

While the amount of people majoring in courses preparing people for a job as a teller isn’t necessarily dropping, fewer and fewer people are applying to become tellers in the first place and the workforce itself is looking grim.

With so many tellers no longer sticking around, this begs the question:

What are they all doing now?

We were curious, so we looked through the resumes of former tellers to see what kind of jobs they were moving into after leaving the field. There were thousands of answers, so we made the cutoff at the top 100 jobs.

But given that there are some very surprising and interesting items on this list, we’ve decided to highlight a few of those instead.
