How worth it is it to transfer?

Hi all, I'm a college freshman seeking a bit of guidance. I currently attend a non-target, although well-respected business school, in the NE that sends ~10 kids to investment banking each year. Most grads end up in either some sort of corporate function in a f500, MO at a bank, or some role at big4. I'm not exactly sure what career path I'd like to pursue but I'd like to keep my options open. I've made a lot of friends and enjoy my current university, however, I don't want to sacrifice my career.

My question is, is it worth it for me to transfer to a university with a better brand and opportunities in finance considering my circumstances?
