'Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees'
President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that the Education Department has finalized a rule that will force schools to prove that the loans students are taking out are paying off.
Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music, and cosmetic certification programs will be hit the hardest. For-profit programs will also be hit particularly hard.
While the Trump administration is framing the policy as “accountability” for higher education, and some are welcoming the move, others see it as an attack on those whose work is important regardless of salary.
The Education Department intends to use IRS data to determine students’ salaries four years after they graduate and compare them to those of people similar in age who just have high school diplomas. If they’re below that baseline, that degree will be ineligible for loans.

Yeah, DOGE those "low aspiration" youngsters who want to do "shithole jobs" like social worker and teaching assistant. What America needs are more lawyers and dentists!
