What do you mean by this exactly?
- Relevant qualification in terms of what?
- Honestly right now i'm deciding between business (accounting) or continuing with my original degree. That way the max I will graduate is at 22. I know I will be okay with either of those courses
- If I change degrees, how do I explain a year gap? This is what I care more about than me not doing any uni for 2 years now.
It would be;
2022 and 2024 - 2026 which is obviously not a good look
The relevant qualification is the degree that you study. As I mentioned, employers care about the fact that you have a degree (and your results, depending on the field) more than how long it took you to complete it. However, if you are still worried about this aspect, you could exclude 2022 from your résumé as idkkdi suggested. Another way would be to only include your degree completion/graduation date rather than both starting and end date.
