At first I was going to go to a community college called “san joaquin delta college” to get a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology but recently I heard that many employers do not hire people who went to community college and would much rather hire people who went to “Vocational–technical schools”.

The problem is that the Vocational–technical schools are VERY expensive, the cheapest one I could find was “hamilton technical college” and the tuition there is about $12,000 a year.

I don’t have a lot of money so I am worried I wont be able to afford going to a technical college, my question is is it really necessary to go to a Vocational-Technical school or would a Community College suffice?

Many community colleges do offer Vo-Tech programs, and it looks like yours does. Private Vo-Tech programs can be very expensive, and many students don’t graduate on time which means they end up spending even more money. If your CC offers the program you want, then that is probably where you should study.

To get specific information about job placement for EETs from San Joaquin Delta College, pay visits to the EET department and to the campus career center. The people there will be able to tell you where their graduates get jobs.
