what is a better degree? business with law (Bsc) or law with Business (LLB>

I am really stuck between two courses one being BSc Business with Law and the other being LLB Law with Business. Can anyone offer advice into which one is more respected?
I think Law with business is more respected if you want to be a lawyer, because the course covers more on Law than on business— this would be a very good degree if you want to be a corporate lawyer.

The Business with Law degree might be better if you want to pursue a corporate career that might require only a little bit of law.

Respected by who?
Asking on TSR where the majority of posters are still in school/college isn’t going to reflect the opinions of employers

When you talk about being a “lawyer” do you mean a solicitor?
