Wilbur Ross- self made billionaire
Bachelor's degree- Yale
Master's degree- Harvard
Served as trump’s economic policy advisor during the campaign.
Although he has ample amounts of business experience, he has never held a government position and will now be in charge of US business domestically and abroad.
He served 24 years as a banker with much experience in bankruptcy and corporate restructuring.
He found his own firm, W.L. Ross in 2000 that works to revive dying companies by buying them.
He has plenty of experience in the business world so he will be an asset to the cabinet in that way because he has a different perspective from the rest of the government working members, but the fact that he doesn’t have any experience in a government position could be problematic because he doesn’t know how the system works.
He calls himself the “king of debt” because he claims that he has no fear of borrowing money and often times uses his debt to finance his acquisitions. Our country has a large debt already so that could pose a problem and put us in a worse situation.
His policies will be a complete 180 turn around from current secretary of commerce penny pritzker who strongly supports free trade. This large change could make it hard to succeed because there will be so much change to be made and so much ground to cover.
The policy that Trump proposed about helping the working class is now directly under Ross’s control. This could be a conflict of interest because such a successful businessman like Ross may not have the best interest of the working class in mind.
Steven Mnuchin- Treasury secretary
Bachelor's degree- Yale
Mnuchin served as the Trump campaign finance chairman.
Mnuchin has 17 years of experience working for an investment bank called Goldman Sachs. On top of this he invested in a failed house lender company called IndyMac while working as chairman and CEO of the company. Eventually he sold this company and began working with Trump on his campaign in terms of finance. Mnuchin has a lot of experience in investing and running a company. Success for Mnuchin is not probable given his lack of political experience. Although he has a lot of knowledge in this field, this does not necessarily mean he will succeed in a political position. ¨The wealthy hedge fund manager, Hollywood financier and former Goldman Sachs trader lacks experience in public policy but is seen as someone who can speak the language of Wall Street bankers.¨
Stephen K. Bannon- Chief Strategist 
Bachelor's degree- Virginia Tech
Master's degree- Georgetown University
Master of business degree- Harvard Law
Bannon worked as Trumps chief executive officer during his campaign.
Bannon is a very educated man that lacks any sort of political experience. Prior to working with Trump, Bannon worked for a commentary website with multiple questionable opinions. Bannon being successful depends on the way Trumps presidency starts off. It could be a train wreck that many Americans expect. ¨Before Mr. Bannon became chairman of Mr. Trump’s campaign, he ran Breitbart News, a hard-right news and opinion website that often publishes nationalist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and racist sentiments. Mr. Bannon holds the same anti-establishment views of many of Mr. Trump’s supporters, though he was educated at Harvard and Georgetown and became wealthy working in entertainment and finance.¨
