Why don't banks want to hire accountants?

I'm currently in school working on my Bachelors degree, majoring in accounting. I've applied at 8 different banks, but can't even get an interview. I have a 3.30 GPA and trying to get the "work experience" needed w/ my degree. But it seems banks are looking for more of a salesman, than someone that can balance the books and keep their money where it belongs. IMO...I can see why so many banks are going belly up now days. Is it just me, or do most banks not care where their money goes now days?
