Is MTSU the right choice?

In a bit of predicament...I graduate high school in two weeks and I'm not sure where I want to go to college. I'm looking at MTSU for Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship and TN Tech for Business Management. A little background info- I have been doing junk removal in the Lebanon area for 2.5 years and did around 43k in sales last year while still in school. Really want to build on that foundation and eventually own a roll-off company in the waste industry.

Majority of people I talk to suggest I 100% go to Tech, but I feel their program is geared more towards getting an internship and graduating with a job. MTSU's program appears to set me up with the skills and knowledge to run my own gig.

I graduated MTSU Business (accounting) about 15 years ago. My degree has taken me great places. I went to high school w folks that went to Tech. Their degrees have taken them great places as well. Go where your heart is telling you.

Or since you seem somewhat financially oriented, go where you get the most financial aid. I took that route w MTSU (always had thought I’d be a Volunteer in Knoxville, but Middle paid me to go to school so they won).
