"Earnings Test" could wipe out entire fields including teaching, counseling, social work, & journalism

38. Four to Six year programs. My four year bachelor program was not graduate, but it would be cut.

Too many "Wunderkinds" and Nepo-babies "Quit College after Two years and made Millions" - through influence, social class, and marketing themselves.
They honestly believe the 80's and 90's movie tropes(that their boomer parents grew up with) in which all you need is a 10 minute musical montage and a wise or wacky mentor, and you can end up being the star of your life making millions - on your own merit.
Totally ignoring the hundreds of thousands of equally talented and deserving people behind the scenes making their prosperity happen.
What's that old saying -

For the want of a nail, a kingdom was lost..."

They're all thinking they can fly whenever they want without the nuts and bolts that need to be maintained supporting them along the way.
