F3lix, this is something i've been thinking about a lot lately, in regard to working in the political sphere. Traditionally, a lot of politicians (Starting with the founding fathers) have been small business owners or had a private practice (lawyer, etc.). So if someone leaves their job to work for the nation for a 4 or 6 year term, then doesn't get re-elected, doesn't that kind of screw them? Are they usually expected to keep up their other profession as well, or take a several-year break and return to it if they fail to get re-elected? Don't we kind of "create" career politicians?
