I slightly prefer advocating job experience over academic experience, usually. There are a lot of things that factor into that, but at least for me, graduating high school, I knew good and well that I'd never be able to commit to caring about college, and that despite the multiple scholarships I had offered to me despite an abysmal graduating GPA (I graduated 148th in a class of 150), I just knew that if I'd gone, I'd have pissed it away. Moreover, I was really excited about technology (I'm 36 now, and it was a very different field then), and even tech support seemed like a way to learn more/faster/better than whatever I might have learned in school -- partly due to how sad CS education was back then, but partly because IT was still a developing field, and real world experience trumped college experience, at least in my mind, and at least at the time. That said, if you've already gotten to your final year, it would be literally foolish of you to abandon your current investment for a job, especially when that job will be there later, and especially when that job isn't already paying you ridiculous amounts of money. In short, if you aren't already a millionaire, finish your degree. Even if it's just to have on paper, throwing away > 75% of your current education costs is just a silly investment.
