If you need the money now, get the job. If you don't need the money right now, get the university one.

edit: Keep in mind that changing the company you work for every few years will get you a better salary in the end so don't get too comfortable at your first job.

Yeah I was unsure if I should stick around or not.

I know someone who is a contractor and it seems having a broader range of companies on your CV looks better. At least from my perspective. He previously worked at a company for 15 years and got an ok salary - after about a year contracting he doubled it.
