Hi
@Esingh-2001!
It's great that you've got these options ahead of you, both are exciting and each with their own benefits and negatives. I think really it comes down what you would be happiest doing? One of the other replies mentioned the debt that comes with doing a degree, but you don't start paying that back until you earn above a certain amount after graduating, and after long period of time will be cancelled, so though it's important to note, there are also things in place to make it manageable and less of a short term concern.
Meanwhile, with the job there is obviously some security there in that it's a job right now, there isn't the uncertainty of still not knowing what will be there when you graduate. But at the same time, it may not be a job and industry that is 100% in line with your interests. You mention your degree would be in Computer Science, so I imagine that would be your preferred career path/sector to be working in, in the long term? The tech sector is always looking for new people, so long term a Computer Science degree would have a lot of career prospects with huge transferrable skills that you can apply to other industries as well, such as in Media, Marketing, Education, Civil Service amongst many others.
So with those things in mind, that's why I think it comes down to what would you enjoy doing most - would you enjoy studying a degree in a subject that I presume you enjoy with lots of crossover potential for career prospects, or would you be happier with a job now that may not be what you want to do long term?
I hope this helps, I realise this isn't advice that's particularly specific, but I hope it at least helps you weigh up your options in weigh that does make that decision a bit easier in some way.
If you have any other questions feel free to let me know and ask away!
