An excerpt from the article 'The Moral Bucket List':
"In the realm of the intellect, a person of character has achieved a settled philosophy about fundamental things. In the realm of emotion, she is embedded in a web of unconditional loves. In the realm of action, she is committed to tasks that can’t be completed in a single lifetime."
It looks like you have played the part of devil's advocate and come to a conclusion. Seeing as how you have scored a part time job in the bay area, I think you will get the best of both worlds by going back to school. Good luck.
I think this works better. As someone said above, it comes down to trade offs. Arguing a point with a specific goal to work towards leads to better discussions than trying to answer questions like: "is x good or bad?"
