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…

    Engineers are literally required to licensed by the state as “Professional Engineers” in order to do their job (or at least they have to be supervised by someone who is), just like doctors and lawyers are. If that doesn’t count as professional, WTF does?!
