How does a history major get into international banking?

I would assume some sort of pedigree is involved.

You mean like a degree from an Ivy? No, not at all.

Then URM, social connection, private university/college, high achiever at high level state school plus luck. In that order.

Me too. The Fox viewers want to believe all liberal arts majors are in debt Starbucks baristas living in their parents basements.

Oldest DC majored in American Studies in 2017 and makes a great living working in a property investment firm in Los Angeles.

CS from a top ranked state school.

$180k straight out of college at a tech consulting firm doing something with data management that I don’t quite understand. But this kid has lived and breathed computers since he was 7 or 8 so the salary for him is sort of incidental to doing what he loves.
