This guts the pipeline for nurses, teachers, therapists, counselors, midwives, PAs, speech pathologists, and public health leaders. Rural hospitals will be devastated. Low income schools will collapse. Women of color and single mothers will be crushed.

If your degree is in nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, public health, therapy, or dozens of other fields dominated by women, it no longer qualifies for higher loan limits. These pink jobs just lost professional status by federal definition.
