Under Trump's Department of Education, certain degree's will no longer be considered "professional degrees". How do you feel about the list?

Social workers, Physical therapists, Nurses, Public accountants, Physician assistants, architects, educators and I'm sure some more.

As far as I can tell, it means people studying for a career in these fields, will no longer be able to get federal loans toward a degree in them.

What are your thoughts?

No one is entitled to federal loans, paid for by taxpayers if you don't pay it back. And they're the reason college costs so much anymore. Look at what college cost in the 1970s and 80s compared to now, it's up over 1500% because colleges know they can charge whatever they want because of student loans, and they will always get paid whether the student pays the loan or not.

I agree with a lot of what you say but the ridiculous cost of college is WAY more complex than federal loans.

Trump's Dept of Education is being dismantled and will no longer exist. This question is moot.

Trump needs people as dumb as possible for the votes.

The change could significantly impact accessibility to education in these fields, possibly discouraging potential students due to financial constraints. Each listed profession plays a critical role in society, and restricting access to federal loans may lead to shortages in these areas, affecting both communities and economic growth. Education should be inclusive and supportive of essential careers, allowing students to pursue their passions without undue financial burden. Ensuring federal support for these degrees fosters a well-rounded workforce capable of meeting diverse societal needs. It's vital to consider long-term implications on both individual career prospects and public welfare.
