You have a lot of time to decide, so why not apply to both jobs and graduate programs.
If you can't get a job upon graduation, then go to grad school. But know that graduate degrees (in computer-related fields) offer a poor ROI. You should probably only pursue one if there is specific research that really interests you and you don't mind being in debt for a while.
