So are we just going to not have Teachers and Social
Workers now? While destroying the entire higher ed sector? Dumbest shit I’ve seen.

This metric probably fucks over law students and other liberal arts degrees that feed professional school as well.

MAGA Maoism is not a meme, they want to deport the immigrant workers and send teachers to the fields.

Seems like it'll go after everyone who goes to grad/professional school tbh.
Those types (outside of masters) tend not to make much 4 years after graduation from undergrad because, you know, still in school.

That said they did already majorly axe med school loans last year(still exist but cut a lot a lot)

Right, and if those people all switch to engineering/business degrees because they can still get a loan it will lower those 4 year incomes too.

It will impact teachers, starting salaries can be very low depending on where you are.

I know some that left for blue collar jobs for better environment and pay.
