What careers would be possible with a Mechatronics degree vs Mechanical Drafting degree through a trade school.?

I am considering two different paths after graduating from high school. One would be a traditional college route with a four year degree in Mechatronics. The other would be a nearby trade school that offers an Associate degree in Drafting/Design and provides job placement assistance. For the past few years I have been on my school's robotics team and really enjoy designing the robot in CAD then 3-D printing all the parts to build it. I think both pathways lead to a similar career, but one is quicker and a fraction of the cost. Am I correct in this?
