      Someone has to make the determination, and unless Congress specifies it legislatively, it’s gonna be up to the Executive Branch.

        “Someone has to make the determination”

        Yea the student who decides how they want to begin their professional career makes that determination, not the president or “free” market.

    The Education Department is defining the following fields as professional programs: pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, chiropractic, law, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatry and theology.

    Left out are nursing, physical therapy, dental hygiene, occupational therapy and social work as well as fields outside of health care such as architecture, education and accounting.

    theology needs the professional level of student loans, but not nursing?

      Chiropractic scam artists are professionals, but physical therapists aren’t.

      Pretty sure NASA is going to be replaced with Astrology and Tarot readings next.
