Better program for a veteran looking to work on the Street

I’m leaving the military after a decade of service and have been admitted to Columbia GS and Yale’s EWSP. I’m interested in studying economics, with the ultimate aim being grad school and a client-facing, revenue generating, role on the Street. Both schools are great opportunities, and I understand this is a first world problem, but I would greatly appreciatve of any insights from those already working in the industry concerning which program would best position me down the road. I’m actively weighing my own pros and cons, though some outside perspective would be fantastic. Thank you!
