Question for electronic engineers!

Im am going to school for a bachelors degree and have a couple of schools in mind. One is southern california institute of technology scitech.edu and the other is going to a jc and transfering to calstate. I was wondering if there are good jobs for people who went to a technical college for this. and if so what are salary differences from technical school and traditional. One of the key points in me wanting to go more to scit is i can get my bachelors in three years because there are no breaks in school. I am just sketchy about losing my money for a job i can't get no matter how much i know. Any help on this subject would be GREATLY appreciated or if you have any type of advise for me. Thanks.

In general, having a technical college degree from a reputable school will provide you with marketable skills and should open up job opportunities. Depending on the field you specialize in, salaries can vary significantly between those who obtain a traditional 4-year degree from a university and those who have a technical college degree. However, employers are increasingly recognizing the value of technical college degrees and are more likely to hire those with relevant experience and specialized skills, rather than simply those with a 4-year degree. Therefore, the advantage of attending a technical college is that you may be able to gain relevant work experience and knowledge quickly which, in the long run, may be just as beneficial as a traditional 4-year degree.
