Need Career Advice

It will be about a year until I graduate with my degree in Finance. I've seen self paced material or classes to learn about modeling and other IB topics to give individuals an edge. My question is, is it worth taking those classes, putting it on my resume, and start job hunting before my degree or will it be better to wait till I get my degree. I'm in a tight situation and need an income boost.

All advice appreciated.

I'm an engineering major and did Wall Street Prep. I put it on my resume and have been asked about it during every interview I've had this spring (~10). It really helped.
