Should I graduate under 4 years?

I went in with enough credits to be a sophomore, so I just took my time and took whatever classes were interesting to me. By the end of my third year I only needed one more class to graduate which was only offered in the fall, so I finished up after three and a half years. I’m pretty glad it worked out that way since I worked for a professor for nine months at my undergrad school prior to starting grad school in the fall. It offered me a lot more experience in lab research than I had gotten working during the semesters/summers prior, and it also gave me enough money to pay off my unsubsidized loans.
