Technical School, Community College, Online University, Physical University - Which is best/worst?

As the question states, how would you rank the above four institutions from best to worst in terms of education quality and real-world acceptance?

Technical School, Community College, Online University, Physical University - Which is best/worst?
Get credit hours at a Community College because it is cheap (and a lot of credit hours can wave SATs, I never took the SAT/ACT and I have a Masters, but do not get an Associates just take the credits). Then go to a regular University. Online universities take to much dedication and do not offer the fun and open environment that a regular University does.





As for technical schools ... most trades never even hire those grads. Trades usually want experience. Example Air Conditioning if you went to school for AC you would never get an AC job, and if you did it would be as apprentice which you could have done before starting the school. Real AC classes are taught by companies like TRANE (very good classes!).





As for other Tech schools like DeVry (for computers). You are better off going to a regular University and getting a respected degree there. In Dallas they have the University of Texas at Dallas on one side of the street and DeVry on the other. Which degree do you think is more valuable a UTD degree in nano-technology taught by nobel prize winners, or a computer software design class taught by a guy that works at CompUSA? ....
