I assume you are talking about a trade school versus a college education. The answer to that would depend on what it is that you want to so in your professional working life. If you like working with your hands and want to be an electrician, a plumber, or a heating/air conditioning repair technician, go to a trade school or a junior college that teaches those subjects. You'll make a ton of money in any of them, and your skills will always be in high demand in this country. If you don't believe me, call and ask a master plumber to quote you his rates to replace the plumbing in your bathroom or your kitchen. (you'd better talk to your banker first, because you will be in for a major financial shocker!)
A college or a university undergraduate program is similar to high school in that you get introduced to a lot of different subjects in order to get you that "well-rounded education" that everyone always talks about. The difference is that you are not being watched over and nobody cares whether you go to class or not. Getting your education is strictly up to you and whether you pass or fail depends on how badly you want it. (Party animals don’t usually fare too well at the college level; but on the other hand, you could become a politician and be elected governor or even president! LOL)
If you decide to go on to graduate school, that's when education really gets to be fun. By this time, you already know what field you want work in and which specialty, if any, in that field that fits with where you want spend the bulk of your professional life. For example: I have my Bachelors degree in Psychology, and I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. The bachelor’s degree covered all the basic courses as well as the various aspects of psychology, but graduate school concentrated on developing counseling skills, which is what I wanted to do when I grew up. Graduate school is much easier for most people because it is tailored to what they want to learn, and they are enthusiastic about learning all that they can. I hope this answers your question.

Go to the technical school you will be learning only what is required of the particular job like computer science and not have to take stupid extra subjects in order to satisfy some college administrations idea of what a well rounded graduate is supposed to learn. even if its something stupid like basket weavers in lower Timbuktu.
I have seen JC's keep changing graduation requirements so much that 2 year college changed into 4 years just to get an AA . A trade school you will be out in 2 years with a degree and you will actually have some real knowledge of what you wanted to learn about in the first place!

College, by far.
Now, college requires much more work. You can't just breeze through it like high school. But if you keep your acedmics in order it can be the best four years of your life. You're independent. Lots of ways to make friends and have fun.

Both, because to get to college, you need to go through school.

College is an educational institution, AKA school. Be more specific!

Depends on if you're talking about learning institutions or fish.
