While I don't classify my uni degree as a particularly 'tradey' one I have finished a Cert IV at TAFE (Website Production 6mo) and am 1/2 way through my B Media; Multimedia at Club Maq. (which is sligtly more difficult than my tafe experience)
My experience at TAFE gave my lots of hands on real world skills. But at uni, one of my lecturers said something rather pertinent. (and I totally paraphrase)
"We COULD teach you all the hands-on skills. How to operate the machinery, write a journal article, whatever, but by the time you finish this degree the technology will have progressed to a point beyond where our training left off. We would be essentially wasting your money on something that is better learnt closer to the time of employment. We will teach the hands-on, but toward the end of the degree. Hands-on skills can be taught to anyone relatively easily, but we are better of teaching you, yes, theory, and the theory behind what you will be doing.
What is focused on then are the social, political, and cultural constraints regarding your area of study. Once you understand the theory behind the hands-on, you will have a better grasp of the why, and also have a better foundation for learning the HOW.
Anyway, something more or less along those lines.
But honestly, do what you want to do. I appreciated and respect both. Most of your mechanics out there or whatever couldn't give a rats about government policy and historical debates or whatever. Other people do find that interesting. whatever...
Though I have some thoughts...
There must be a reason that tafe is so awesomely cheap and uni so darn expensive.
There must be a reason that uni degrees are more socially, 'elite' and if applying for foreign studies, a degree means a heck of a lot more than a diploma. (even if it is a baseless reason)
*whoa this was long! - I will delete some stuff...*
