🎓 Delinquent student loan borrowers could see wage garnishments next month - ABC News
｢ The move is months in the making and comes as the Trump administration continues to revamp the nearly $1.7 trillion student loan system impacting more than 40 million Americans. Around 5 million Americans have defaulted on student loan payments, which means they haven't paid their debts for at least nine months or 270 days ｣
"Following direction from the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill, the Department of Education determined that nursing was among the programs that would now be excluded from the 'professional degree' list. This would affect how those seeking a nursing degree would be reimbursed for student loan payments."

Very noteworthy how most of these professions are typically female-gendered in US culture.
Also, it completely misses the point that a profession is an occupation REGULATED BY A STATUTORY BODY with specific privileges and responsibilities defined by law."Professional" has been devalued in recent decades by overuse, but do you really want to be treated by an unregulated doctor?
Whatever idiot drafted this guideline is clearly not a member of a regulated profession.
This one is undergoing Telephone Game alterations as it passes around social media.
What's actually happening is that #DonaldJTrump's new "big beautiful" law said that only "professional students" can have certain levels of student loans, and the RISE committee of the USDOE is having a bit of a barney about what "professional degrees" qualify for this because of a wording mis-match.
