This is a fallacy. You’re thinking of jobs that earn a lot of money and supposing those people might be good at running a country but that’s not really how it works.
Someone who is a specialist in one area will have spent years studying that area but that doesn’t mean they know anything about other areas at all or have good judgement. For an MP you want more of an all rounder, someone who has general knowledge but is prepared to listen to experts along with their constituents. You want someone humble enough to realise when they don’t know enough and someone willing to find out.
