@bayoucultureco: So now your degree has to pass an earnings check to keep access to federal student loans🙄 The Trump administration has finalized a new rule that ties federal student loan eligibility to how much graduates of a specific college program go on to earn. Undergraduate programs will be measured against the earnings of typical high school graduates, while graduate programs will be compared to typical bachelor’s degree holders. If a program fails that earnings test in 2 out of 3 years, students in that program can lose access to federal Direct Loans for at least two years. This will impact not only Black students disproportionately, but it will be one of many goal posts moved to make education less accessible. So no, it’s not exactly “English majors can’t get student loans anymore.” But starting July 1, 2027, the reported earnings of people who graduated from that program can affect whether future students can use federal loans to pay for it. College financing is changing fast, so if you’re applying soon, pay attention to how YOUR specific program is affected. #StudentLoans #CollegeStudents #FinancialAid #OurPower #CVPriority

As someone with an English degree. I agree, it doesn’t make much money. However, it’s still a necessary degree (needed for secondary education English and up). Cutting the ability to gain financial relief for this degree will only make the English language/literature crisis worse.

This country is obsessed with everything being profitable. Things can have value to society besides generating more $$ for elites. I know that seems impossible for some people to grasp.

I mean it kind of makes sense. why loan out money to someone who very likely isn't going to make much and will likely end up applying for some sort of loan relief bc they cant pay. And this is coming from someone who majored in anthropology and now cant make payments on my loans 😭 the government loses money on that, and honestly so do I because I wasn't pressured into majoring in something more lucrative. I do think higher education should be less expensive. But yea, if I was loaning out money to people I'd want to know that they have a high chance of paying it back.

It’s funny because there’s a work around to this…. On paper, you say you’re measuring in a certain degree but you actually register and take classes for a different one. There’s no way for them to cross track and compare that across who billions of students to verify every single one.
