FSU vs UW Madison

Hello monkey's, I'm at a crossroads right now indeterming where to spend the next four years and I am wondering if I should attend either Wisconsin or FSU for a better shot at the street. I realize neither of these schools are targets but I guess UW could be considered a semi-target, however with that said, if I attend FSU I would have no college loans to pay off coming out where at Wisconsin I would be in the hole about 40k. I was looking for some advice, are the loans worth it or should i just go to FSU and be prepared to work my ass off?

Thanks!
