SMU COX VS UT AUSTIN ECON

Hey all, I had recently finished my associates degree in Business admin and was accepted to both UT Econ and SMU Cox. Although I’d prefer UT due to their name brand, I’m worried that it will be hard to find a job without grad school. I’m not looking to enter in wall street or anything but I don’t want to be stuck with a mediocre job with an Econ degree, so I come here to ask whether it would be more worth it to study Econ at UT or Finance at SMU Cox
