Compared to attending a technical school, completing a four-year college degree allows you to select from a wide range of careers.
When you get a college degree, you can choose to specialize in any area of study that you want, and thus you have many more options to choose from. However, a college degree is far more expensive than a technical school. You won't necessarily enter the workforce sooner, because you have to have knowledge, and not only a degree. You won't avoid student loans because, as I said, college is expensive.
