HKUST MS Finance versus CUHK MS Data Science

hi all. I am uncertain what I need to do.
I received a BBA in accounting from nontarget US school 22.
I received MBA in Management Info systems from nontarget school at 29.
I was fortunate enough to overcome the fact i went to nontarget schools. I made a mistake and jumped to a really bad job. Lost the job.
I came back to HK to try to do something else.
I was working in computer financial systems, improving processes and getting data for management. Now I want to do better in HK.
I have been accepted into HKUST MS Finance program and CUHK MS data science program.
I know HKUST is much, much better than CUHK and should be the obvious choice.
However, I am 39 years old. When i graduate with a Finance degree, I am told that my new degree would be in a field different from my work experience, and thus make it difficult for me. Employers would be more interested in hiring younger employees with less baggage.
If I go to CUHK, i can get into statistics, and learn skills that complement what I do now.
Any thoughts? All information would be most appreciated.
