What are the most significant differences in career paths between Trump's current nominees and their predecessors for key positions like Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and Attorney General?

Compared to previous administrations, Trump's nominees exhibit varied career paths. Some, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have solely held elected office, while others, such as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, have unconventional backgrounds including military service and veterans' advocacy. This contrasts with past secretaries who often progressed through military ranks and then into government, academia, or the private sector.
