Anyone notice what these “non-professional” degrees have in common?
Nursing
Physician assistants
Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
Accountants
Educators
Social workers
Here’s a hint, look at the two least obvious ones:
43% of new architects are women:

And 60% of all accountants:

This is clearly a plan to minimize career paths for women.
Edit What the heck, lets check the rest of them…
92% of audiologists are women:

Seriously? Architect? Accountant? What exactly does the distinction professional even mean then?
Professional… When you do it for a living and can live off doing it then you’re a professional.
Hookers are professional at sexual pleasures. Porn starts are professional at making sex videos. One could argue that these are not the same. Yet both are professions in my opinion.
Yeah I get that, but obviously in the context given here that that definition doesn’t fit what they’re trying to say. Like what is THEIR working definition of profession they’re using where such things as nurses cannot be referred to as professionals?
I really like the etymology of the word.
