Depends how you see 'prepared' really. I've never really liked politicians who spent there whole life doing politics. I much rather see someone who spent 20 years doing something well and relevant and 5 years in lower political job before getting a bigger one.
For example a minster of education should really be a retired teacher and a minster of defense should come from some kind of background with the army,navy or air-force. That way they understand how things work on the ground, but also have spent enough time in politics to understand how things work on the grander scale.
