I would pick the public school, hands down.

I made around $17,000 working two jobs when I was in college. It was not a lot of money...I now make around what you would make in the public school, and I sometimes have a difficult time paying the bills. I understand that it shouldn't be all about the money, but less than $18,000 would be incredibly difficult for me to live off of. And I am a very thrifty person.
