Nursing

Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
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:

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.
