Prioritize school, especially since you are freelancing and not doing a startup. People generally choose freelance work over employment because it means (1) more freedom, empowerment and power over their work and life (2) more money. If you get a job that offers you equal or acceptable levels of (1) and (2), go for the job. If you get the same amount of money, you need to decide how importance (1) is for you. If you by any chance happen to get the amount of (1) but less money, you need to think about how passionate you are about your work and how less money will affect your daily life. Now, maybe you're really ambitious and still want some of the benefits of employment. If that's the case, get the job but make it clear that you will continue to do freelance work on the side, maybe during nights and weekends. The nice thing about this is that you keep building your portfolio, incredibly important for freelancers, and can pick projects and technology stacks that interests you.
