If I were to answer this sarcatically, I'd say I would choose both no matter what happens, coz who would decline both? Both of them are important, but if the question is which will you choose first, I'd probably choose education first. My reason is that, nobody was born educated and as the current situation we have here and even different parts of the world, education is not mostly free to access. That means you have to sacrifice/spend enough money to acquire good education. Though it cannot guarantee your success it will give you options in finding money.
