text: UT is an excellent school.  Their business school is first rate (not ranked in the top ten -- but ranked highly).  Employers will take a degree from UT seriously.\n\nPersonally, I think an MBA is better than an accounting degree -- but accountants from good schools have no problems getting jobs.\n\nI've only been to Austin once -- great city.  I have friends from Austin who say it is the best place in the world.  One problem the town has is that people go there, fall in love with the place & never leave.
