I was planning on graduating this summer with an honors in the major. Today, my thesis director told me he doesn't want me defending until the fall semester.
In two weeks, I'll have completed the requirements for a dual degree in economics and political science with minors in business and mathematics. I only needed the summer semester for the honors in the major designation, hence why I didn't submit for graduation this semester. But now I'll have to wait until December to graduate if I want to keep the honors in the major.
Putting things into context:
I have no previous finance experience. I want to break into IB. I'm planning on doing an MSF program (hopefully Vandy). I can finish my honors in the major online via communicating with the professor over email. I have a couple of options and want some advice.
What would you guys recommend?
1) Maintain student status to complete the honors in the major. Do a fall internship at boutique and have a shot at an offer when I graduate. Start working at boutique that following spring semester. Don't need MSF.
2) Maintain student status to complete the honors in the major. Do a fall internship at boutique. Don't get an offer. Do a spring internship. Then move to Nashville in the summer to begin the MSF program.
3) Maintain student status to complete the honors in the major, can't land an internship, so I work at some job that doesn't require a bachelor's degree. Move to Nashville in the summer.
4) Forgo the honors in the major, get a job in the fall and spring that requires a bachelor's degree. Then move to Nashville in the summer.
