MSW: Tuition vs. Earning Potential

[bananamuffin]

Hi all! I'm deciding between U Chicago (cheaper due to scholarships) and UW Seattle(more expensive). However, I noticed the salary for social workers is much higher in Seattle than in Chicago, even when compared to cost of living. What do you think is the better long term financial decision, due to the networking opportunities I will likely have in the city I attend school in?

 

Also if anyone has opinions on these schools, let me know

University of Chicago + work for the VA! 
It really depends on the sector. Where do you *want* to live afterward?
