I found myself in a similar situation a few years back and I decided that school was the better option.
I doubt it is the same exact argument for anyone. There are always a million little differences between everyone's situation, however the only thing that helped me was deciding on a goal.
I could find pro's and con's for each decision daily, and would spend all night debating with myself on each. But I think you need to settle on what your end goal is and try to make things fit into that. Not the other way around.
For me, there was enough uncertainty in both options that I couldn't say exactly what will happen ("It's not like a car crash with immediate results.", my friend said).
So I decided on what I wanted out of school, job, owning a home, finance and career, and what situation I felt would be a good use of my time ( which is the resource here, everything else are just tools.) School, if I used it correctly, would get me closer to that sooner than owning a home, or living abroad or teaching or a bazillion other things....
Unfortunately, the hard part is trying to stick to that decision. Ug, welcome to life.
