Default Transferring from Riddle to anthor school, bad idea?

Hey, I am currently an Aero Sci freshman student at ERAU in DB. I have my PPL, IRA, and I am going to be starting my commercial flight training soon. I have been contemplating transferring to a state school not only to save a ****load of money, but also to get a more useful degree. I say useful degree like a real business degree, something that could be used outside the aviation industry incase i lose my medical or the entire airline industry bottoms out. I want to have a backup option just incase, i feel that an ERAU degree is useless anywhere else but in aviation. Since i'll have my commercial at the end of the school year, that doesn't leave much training left if i wanted to CFI/CFI/ME. Would I be at any disadvantage for hiring if I went to a state school and did any extra training at an FBO? Im concerned that if I dont stay at ERAU, ill end up flying RJs for life if i transferred to a state school and had fbo training.

Schools im considering:
SUNY Farmingdale
Rutgers in Newark or Piscataway
