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

Accountants
Educators
Social workersHere’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:

This should help: Snopes article It’s currently rated “Mixed” as it is still in the proposal stage at this time.
It would be funny if they killed the DOE first before they could do it.
Good. Pay us all overtime then, at time & a half.
I’m an accountant, but how TF is physical therapist not professional? 3 year grad school program for Doctor of Physical therapy, at 21k per year here. That is the education requirement. Then state licensing and jurisprudence exams, continuing education.
You know what isn’t a professional job here? Politician.
You forgot the best part: PT is not professional, but Chiropraction and Theology are.
This was going to be my first question. Does that mean these professions are no longer exempt from overtime rules? Because I’m pretty sure this contradicts how congress defined professional roles.
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.
The rich love to keep down the poor and the ill-educated despise those who try. Crabs in a bucket governance.
They all contain an ‘s’.
Nailed it
Architecture?
The list said “architects”
Guess his “big beautiful ballroom” won’t be Professional Grade after all.
