BA ECONOMICS DEGREE WORTH 200K USD ?

I am currently an Economics undergraduate at Virginia Tech. The program is covered by the College of Science however it is to my shock that the Economics Degree is a Bachelors of Arts and not a Bachelors of Science which seems to be highly demotivating.

My main aim is to find employment after graduation and long term goal is to settle down in the US of A.

My question is whether I should transfer to another school that offers a BS in Economics ?

Is a BA in economics valueless compared to a BS in economics?

Here is some history about me :

1. International student with a average high school performance ( 3.0 gpa ) with a few extracurriculars.

2. Was accepted to Penn State , Perdue , Virginia Tech , FIU etc.

3. Currently have an gpa of 3.5 with a mix of calculus and economics courses.

4. Total yearly bill at VT is around 50k USD for a BA in Econ. Does it make sense ?

All answers and inputs would be greatly appreciated. My main concern is that I graduate with a degree that costed me 200k USD and leaves me jobless in my home country.

Thank you.
