    Again, y’all are are getting too hung up on the label. No one is saying they’re not critical. “Professional” in this case seems to mean “qualifies for more student loans, like Doctors”, instead of “qualifies for student loans like everyone else”. I’m not saying nurses aren’t professional, I’m saying it looks like their education costs more similar to mine than to a doctors.

    AND Y’ALL ARE MISSING THE POINT. Everyone getting hung up on whether this insults the people forming the core of our healthcare system are missing the part where they’re limiting student loans for everyone

        So new limits on student loans

        • $50k cap for most of us
        • $200k cap for “professionals” like doctors
        • no more parent plus loans

        Even public universities are more than that everywhere (a few like Massachusetts has means tested free tuition)

        Only the very wealthy will be able to afford private school

        Given the loans taken out by doctors I know, that’s not even close
