Then there's the school itself that says they will help students find a job in the field after completing courses, but obviously they're not gonna tell me if it is going to be difficult afterwards.
If anyone has any suggestions or confirmed knowledge about these two education systems, please let me know... thanks to anyone who will take the time to read and reply to this post, if any.

From what I understand, many companies have particular technical schools which they target and your chances of getting employment at the respective companies is pretty high as long as you achieve reasonible grades.
Apart from that, I could not distinguish the pros and cons of technical school vs. 4 year degree. I imagine it also will greatly depend on the prestige of the institute you attend.
