wheel bearing?

My '94 CSE non-turbo has begun making a woooo noise beginning at about 30 MPH and increasing in pitch 'till highway speeds, where it becomes inaudible (perhaps due to the wind noise :) ). At lower speeds it seems to go away on a left hand turn but at higher speeds it seems fairly constant. Sounds like a bad left-side wheel bearing, right?
Also - chicken and egg problem. The car pulls left at highway speed - I have to hold the wheel up to 10* to the right to hold a straight course, depending on road crown. Could a bad wheel bearing cause this (more drag on the left side) or could this be an alignment-related problem causing the wheel bearing to fail?
Further - how long can I run it with a bad bearing? Finances are tight and I don't have all the correct tools to do the job myself, and I have a 130 mile round-trip commute. I'll probably suck it up and get the part to try to do the job this weekend, but it'd sure be better for me to be able to put it off a month or so.
Thanks,
Scott
