[Witcher] Is it better to be a commoner, a Witcher or a mage towards the end of the books/start of the games?

If you were stuck in the Witcherverse permanently and you had the choice of being a peasant, a Witcher or a mage in around 1260...what will the best choice be?

Before everything went down, it would have been to be a mage as they had the king's ear and were treated as part of the aristocracy. That being said, despite being the most powerful of the three choices, they are now actively hunted. Do you still think being gifted with the knowledge of magic and biological immortality is worth the risk?

Alternatively, Witcher also sounds cool - except you'll have to constantly risk your life when doing contracts. Also, a lot of people will despise you just because of their prejudice. For the purposes of discussion, let's assume you will pass the Trial of Grass/graduate from the magical academies. 

If that is the case, wouldn't being a commoner be the best choice? Except there is also the Catriona plague, you may get conscripted and/or die of some weird disease.

What do you think? Which of the 3 would you say is the best choice?

Mage, hands down.

Peasants in the Medieval Age tend not to survive very long. Witchers are viewed as marginally useful mutants at best, and beings worthy of being lynched at worst. Mages have long lives, are treated like royalty in places other than Novigrad, and you get cool powers.
