  1. Breaking: The U.S. just discovered that architects, teachers and nurses are actually… hobbyists. Under Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”, designing bridges, educating entire generations and literally keeping people alive will be treated like you’re starting a quirky side hustle on Etsy. “Professional students” (like, say, MBAs and lawyers) can borrow up to $50k/year, while the folks who build hospitals, run them, and staff them get the “congrats on your expensive pastime, here’s a smaller loan” tier at $20.5k/year.Architecture: not professional. Education: not professional. Nursing, physical therapy, dental hygiene, occupational therapy, social work: also just vibes now. Professional, apparently, means “makes the right donors comfortable” and not “holds society together so the donors don’t die of untreated sepsis in a collapsing building staffed by underfunded volunteers”.If this goes through, fewer people will be able to afford these degrees, which is a bold strategy when there’s already a nursing shortage and a desperate need for teachers and care workers. But hey, who needs a functioning society when you can have tidy loan categories and a press release about “repayment assistance”.Anyway, if you’re an architect, teacher, nurse, therapist, engineer or social worker: congratulations on your new status as “non-professional essential worker”. Please remember to clock out before saving lives or shaping the next generation, because that kind of thing is clearly just a hobby now.#HigherEd #StudentLoans #Architecture #Nursing #Teachers #ProfessionalDegrees #USPolitics #TrumpBill #DebtCrisis #MastoEdu #MastoPol #Fediverse
