$1,000,000 is more than I would make in ten years, and I wouldn't have to work for ten years. Seems like an obvious choice to me.

I think it would be better to get 100,000 each year, it would be easier to avoid blowing it all at once.

I have a proven track record of careful fiscal management, so I'll take the million dollars as well. Having it all up front allows for bigger and better projects to be implemented right away.

Hmmm.... Tough call. I'd say, work the job that reliably pays a hundred grand a year, buy your house in 5, and save 80% of your income for the next 15, then retire.
