Is vocational school a good idea?

I hear a lot of sad stories about how ppl take out huge loans for their college education and graduate with no job or a low paying job. At least in vocational school, you are given a trade skill that will guarantee you a job after graduation. Plus I find vocational school a whole lot cheaper than a university education. Community colleges also offer vocational education too and for a dirt cheap price.

Would it be smart to do vocational training, work, and then finally go to college once you know exactly what you want to do?

I see a lot of people are being pushed into going to college because society demands it and wondering if it is right thing to do?
