I’d say finish since you’ve gotten this far (unless there’s some kind of cataclysmic shift very soon) but certainly have a backup plan. Always have a backup plan. As you will learn in IT; one is none and two is one.

But idk I’m a recent infosec grad and every single employer wants you to have all sorts of certs that aren’t included in your actual curriculum. Nobody cares if you have CISSP or Networking+ equivalent knowledge, for example, even if that was literally what you studied and got A’s in in school. They want the real deal which costs like 1000 USD. And that’s to attempt the CISSP alone. That’s a very strong cert but even that is not quite enough alone based on the postings I’m reading. Makes my head spin thinking about how many calls for interviews I was getting unprovoked back in 2018.

So yeah, be prepared for employers seeking unicorn candidates with at least 2+ years of experience in whatever job you’re looking at, ghost jobs (Sophos is horrible for this), and I hope you can drive because tons of them want to shuttle you between job sites because it’s just cheaper to pay for gas. I can’t and it’s cost me dearly. Make sure you have a good workflow for creating custom resumes from a template too because you’re gonna be sending a LOT of them.

That’s just my experience. Good luck out there. /gen
