Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Anyone notice what these “non-professional” degrees have in common?

Nursing
Physician assistants
Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
Accountants
Educators
Social workers

Here’s a hint, look at the two least obvious ones:

43% of new architects are women:

And 60% of all accountants:

This is clearly a plan to minimize career paths for women.

Edit What the heck, lets check the rest of them…

    This is so out there. “We’re not interested in running things, we just want to offend people.” It takes neither a prophet nor a doomsayer to predict that this won’t end well.

    Students doing certain degrees may no longer receive the same amount of reimbursement for their studies now that the Department of Education is implementing various measures from President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

    One measure coming into action is that whether a degree is considered “professional” will influence how much reimbursement a student receives for their higher education.

    However, there are a number of what many see as “professional” degrees missing from the new list, such a nursing, which sparked significant concern among nurses and nursing organizations.
