Eh. Grad school gives you shit pay for insane hours on interesting, or at least worthwhile, work. Industry gives you good pay for decent hours on boring work if you're lucky and work that makes the world worse if you're not. You're probably going to be unlucky, because capitalism. In both cases you're at the mercy of stuffed suits you could replace with a moderately complex shell script if they weren't the ones in charge. I've bounced back and forth a few times and I still can't decide whether I hate academia or industry more. My student loans were paid off before I'd been out of undergrad 10 years though.
