Delaying my studies to save myself?

Hey all, considering a stupid but maybe worthy move: Delaying my last semester of uni.

I’m a postgrad at a no-name uni and i m going to graduate in a recession, sounds delicious. I’m thinking maybe I should postpone my thesis to next year to gain some time?

At this point I am a conman, I have no relevant internship, work part time in BO BB… Dude where am I heading?

I could take the time off to start studying for the CFA or do internships, but intentionally failing my thesis to re-try it next year sounds like a junkie move…

Any views on this?
