Should I do a dual degree?

Currently enrolled in a dual-degree program between Finance and Biology. I can easily graduate within 3-years if I drop the bio degree and then spend the last year travelling ($100,000 Tuition Saved) or working ($100,000 Tuition Saved + $180,000 Salary). Is an additional biology degree worth it long-term? I want to do UMM/MF Healthcare PE, will having two degrees help me land interviews and get the job?

Thanks!

Bio degree wont really have any effect on UMM/MF Healthcare PE. Bio degree is more Science than Finance. Thought it is a good talking point during your interview; but ultimately wont really matter as much as you would think
