Flown with many who delayed their graduation, swearing they would complete it once they're at a regional......only to not complete it and regret their decision. Not saying this is the path you're on but its happened to many others.
My advice is to finish your degree without delay.

I delayed my degree to pursue a rampie gig with XJet, which I was hoping would turn into a Pilot position...ended up at SkyWest ultimately, and just over a semester from a degree. Ended up going back to school last semester full-time, while working full-time, and let me tell you it was the HARDEST, most time-consuming, and stressful thing I've ever done. Don't be a fool -- stay in school! Finish up the degree while you're knee-deep in it already, and start being smart about contacts. Best of luck!
