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…

92% of audiologists are women:

    “It has also been reported that engineering, a business master’s, counseling or therapy, and speech pathology will not be considered “professional” either.“

    Well, AI can do the job of an engineer - they are just code monkeys. (sarcasm)

    But the one I like the best - business masters. Stick it to the CEOs and corporate execs. According to Sundar Pichai, AI can do that job too! Karma.

    When will we be able to exit the world of stupid?
