From an insert in today's paper:
What is the problem here? (ha ha)
Beware of a sentence that begins "As a..."; such a beginning introduces a characteristic of a person. For example, "As a mom, I have a lot of experience changing diapers."
You have to ensure that the person follows the "As" phrase, so here, "what" is the problem.
