Nursing, Accountants, PAs and others no longer considered professional by Trump administration

30. From the article - this makes no sense

Kevin Kinser, professor of education policy studies at Pennsylvania State University, told Newsweek: "I don’t think the point is to discern professional degrees from other degrees in terms of loan eligibility. It is to limit the exposure of the government to loans that will not be repaid, whether because of default or through public service loan forgiveness policies. So the list includes professions that generally result in high salaries, and neglect professions that have lower earnings or less prominence. The exception here is theology, which may reflect more political calculations than anything else. There is also less of a sense of using loans to encourage people to enroll in other programs from a workforce development perspective. We need nurses and teachers for example, yet loans would be unavailable to support people entering these professions."

Nurses and Accountants generally earn good salaries. They should be a low risk for potential failure to repay their loans. Kevin Kinser sounds like an idiot. Not a good look for Penn State that he is Head of the Department of Education Policy Studies at Penn State.
