I've seen fair share of students swinging between the traditional and technical college routes. From my perspective, the hands-on experience at East Central Technical College is big plus. It equips students with practical skills that employers often look for. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Some students have expressed regret about missing out on the 'traditional' college experience think dorm life, campus events, fraternities, etc. Have you considered how important the social aspect of college is for you? Or are you more focused on diving straight into your career?
