Are you thinking of joining some vocational course that could give you a living but are not sure about vocational schools? If your answer is yes, then I've some information you can use.

A vocational school or a trade school will provide you job-specific training for some particular industry. You can then work in that industry as a skilled labor.

In the United States, these schools are usually post-secondary schools, but in some places replace the final years of high school.

So, if you want to join a course that provides you with necessary skills to get a job and not just bookish knowledge, then vocational schools are the best place to be at.
