Money or freedom after university graduation? What should I pick?

I'm about to graduate university and I finally got a job offer after months of being persistent and applying everywhere.

This job is about average in terms of interest and reputation, but it pays far above average. It's not quite in my subject area, but close.

If I take it, however, I get no holiday after graduation. I've been studying for years, working most of that time (especially this year where I've been working 2-3 days a week while studying) and I'm scared of burning out. I'm naturally lazy but I think I deserve a break. I'd been planning a trip with my friends after graduation and taking the job would kill the trip. I would also have to quit my current job, which is VERY flexible and has been very tolerant of me.

On the other hand, the new job really is a lot of money. I could just do it for a year and then move onto somewhere else and I'd probably be rich enough to buy a house (I already have substantial savings)

What would you do? Take a break and enjoy my youth or spend some time absolutely nose to the wheel so I can save up for my future?
