A millennial with a doctoral degree and over $250k in student-loan debt says she's been looking for a job for 4 years. She wishes she prioritized work experience over education.
Over the past decade, A. Rasberry has placed a great deal of value on higher education. She's now come to regret it.
Rasberry earned a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate in business administration from Saint Leo University in Florida. However, she says she's struggled to find a job in her field of study over the past four years. She also has more than $250,000 in student-loan debt, according to a document viewed by Business Insider.
Since earning her doctorate, Rasberry has applied for various business roles but had little success. She said she'd been forced to expand her job search and explore a new career in healthcare to help her make ends meet.
"I thought education was the road to financial freedom, but I was wrong," the 38-year-old, who lives in Virginia, told Business Insider via email. She asked for partial anonymity, using only the first initial of her first name and her last name, because of privacy concerns
