You're better off today to go to a 2 year technical arts or trade college, you'll get both accreditation and employable skills. You may be able to get government grants as well cutting the costs further. The 2 year colleges in Washington State have very high standards and supply a lot of the workforce for the tech industry in the Seattle area.

I absolutely agree with this and it is a shame that people don't look at trade schools more than they do. I think that as far as most hands on programs are concerned that the 2-year colleges are a much better place to get actual knowledge. They are also damn near free in comparison to a hoity toity university with their fake old looking buildings.
also, I hope that young people are being told about this. When I was in high school this option wasn't even mentioned to us and they kind of talked trash about it... Looking back I think they were paid to do exactly this because the schools that would come and visit us were really expensive for-profit private schools, never the trade schools.
