USC (Economics) vs. Penn State (Finance)

Just putting out some points:
-Home - USC Marshall;
3.5 avg, so I’d say 3.7 to be safe (which isn’t easy here tbh)
-but, you seem to do fine in school so transferring would be pretty easy for you
-but, you have a 3.9 and will have to start your GPA over and most profs here curve @ 3.0
-I don’t believe econ is worth ~$60k a year but I’m biased from Marshall
-You will need financial aid
-USC will help you work in LA
-Putting you want to do MBA at USC may not help (have to ask admissions about that)

ultimately this is your decision, good luck!
