If you needed heart surgery would you refuse to go to a "career heart surgeon"?

Tell me what schools do you go to and what degrees do you get to become a career politician.

The problem is that career politicians almost always care more about getting re-elected than actually serving their districts. They tend to forget they are there to serve their constituents and care more about themselves and what they can get out their time in office. There's also the resistance to change (not just in laws, but in things like procedures, too). They tend to discount the newcomers' thoughts, ideas, and opinions. 

These are just off the top of my head.
