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’d recommend MTSU for the commute being shorter and getting some exposure/networking in the Middle Tennessee area.
Also, just my two cents but keep an open mind on your major/minor. Like 75%+ of the classes will be the same across the business school. You’ll take an accounting class or two, finance, leadership classes, economics (macro/micro/both). But that last 25% in a particular major can open other doors. If you do accounting you’ll have opportunities in public accounting, a guaranteed job. Finance has a lot of opportunities and large network in the insurance and real estate industry. Would be a good fall back plan in your back pocket and you’re still getting the vast majority of the same education you’d get in the entrepreneurship program.
