I'm currently in my last semester of accelerated paralegal studies and just firmly accepted my offer at U Ottawa for Fall 2022. I've received straight A's/ A+'s and had a corporate interview for my (unpaid) 4 week summer placement.

I am absolutely torn whether to finish what I started and just not write the licensing exam this October, drop out and find a second job to start saving up for my life of debt or attempt to both finish and write the licensing exam? Will seeing it through give me an advantage for interviews? Or will I be burnt out for 1L? Any input is appreciated!!!

Finish it. Don’t waste the effort you have put in so far. Decide about the exam later.

Of course finish the education. If you can study over the summer (dedicate your life to studying) and manage to pass the licensing exam as well in October, do it. 
 

It can only help you land legal 1L jobs.
