    Here's how to decide the best choice:

    1) Research each option carefully. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of both.
    2) Talk to friends, family, and especially people who have done one or the other (or both!) before.
    3) Write everything down. Make lists, comparison charts. This is an important decision.
    4) Finally, take a few days to do nothing but think about the options. Carefully consider the plusses and minuses and how much they influence you.
    5) Make your decision.
    6) Announce it to your friends and family, but don't commit to either the job or the school just yet.
    7) Give it a few days. If you haven't changed your mind, make the commitment and turn down the job, or leave school.

    At the end of this process, there will be no question but what you made the wrong choice.

    Do the due diligence barfo describes.

    Flip a coin to decide.

    When the coin is in the air, pay attention to which side you hope wins the toss. That's probably the right answer.

    I tried the Magic Eight ball, but all I could get was "outlook not so good".
