Knowing more is better than knowing less.

Are you the unicorn person that can learn everything on the program without the "incentive" of failing if you don't? Personally, I'm finishing my 2nd bachelors right now, in law - an area that has nothing to do with my current job and probably won't have a lot to do with it in the future. But when it came to what's a better use of my time - learning a new discipline or gaming my evenings away (it's a remote degree), doing the degree felt like the right (albeit quite painful) choice.

So unless you are joining a new big thing startup, there is no good justification not to finish what you started (especially if you already paid for it).
