Student needing advice

So I've got a big decision ahead of me this week, which is choosing between 2 colleges in my country to study chemical engineering, both have their pros and cons and I'll try to explain both.

University A offers a traditional chemical engineering degree. It's an older, well-established school with a curriculum that’s more theoretical and aligned with what’s taught in most ChemE programs worldwide. It's recognized by employers both locally and abroad, especially in oil and gas (which is the main sector hiring here). The downside is that it's known to have some classes that most chemical engineers take but are extremely brutal, and the professors aren’t very supportive or much help. However, I can take a minor if I wanted and it leaves the door open for a master's program in the future which is a possibility.

University B offers a degree in chemical engineering technology. It's considered easier overall, with a more practical, hands-on approach. Professors are more helpful, but the curriculum doesn’t include as many theoretical courses. The degree is only recognized locally — meaning my chances of working abroad or pursuing a master’s are limited. I also wouldn’t be able to take a minor.

I’m leaning toward University A, even if it’s harder, because I want a more complete education and the flexibility to work abroad or pursue further studies. Everyone around me is suggesting I take the easier route, but I’m not sure that’s the best long-term move.
