Is there a part-time option for school? If not I think doing the job first can definitely get you valuable experience that can get you into better schools later on.

You can never go wrong with and advanced degree. The job may be great today, but gone tomorrow.
But, since you’re young, set a goal of working for a year and plan on returning to school. Maybe they’ll even pay for your education.

Take the job, after working there for a year they’ll probably reimburse your tuition expenses and you can get a FREE education.
That’s how I got my master’s degree! I now make twice the money I did before!

I read about this in Forbes Magazine just last week. Their advice is to take the job. Once you have the job, there is really no reason to go to business school.
Consider your salary will not change much. Even new graduates from Wharton get an average of $95,000 starting salary.
If you do decide to go to business school, you will need a minimum of 2 years of work experience to be considered by any of the top programs.

Take the job, get some experience and pay down your debt. I am currently in b-school, with 10yrs work exp., studying with many people who have no work experience. They have lots of theory and no practical knowledge. Most don’t have the vaguest idea how to discuss a problem with a supervisor or coworker. Work for a while, then go to school. When you go to school, it will be much easier, make more sense and be more rewarding.
Since you already have debt from your undergraduate education, employer tuition assistance programs may be an attractive option for you. Some companies also offer generous graduation benefits, such as shares of stock, raises, or executive training programs for new MBA grads.
