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:

88.8% of nurses:

    The rich love to keep down the poor and the ill-educated despise those who try. Crabs in a bucket governance.

    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.

    I’m kinda wondering if that’s their primary intention even if these scumbags are probably pleased with such an outcome.

    Maybe they sorted the list of degrees by repayment rate and labeled all the ones below a certain rate as ‘unprofessional’. Since women are still getting paid significantly less than men for the exact same work, they may have lower repayment rates which would show up like you’ve shown.

    To be clear, either way, fuck these clowns.
