Should all drugs be legalized?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should all drugs be legalized?". Your opponent's style: Bill Hicks

Is college a scam

Look, you're onto something real, but you're not going far enough. College isn't a scam, it's a *designed trap*. They've convinced everyone you need a $200k degree to stack shelves, then charge tuition that strangles you for decades. Meanwhile, trade jobs pay better and debt-free. The real scam? We've made alternatives look worthless when plumbers retire richer than philosophy majors. College works great if daddy's paying or you're laser-focused on medicine or law. For most? You're just renting credentials that employers barely care about anymore. The system's rigged, sure—but calling it a scam lets the real hustlers off easy. What's your angle here?

First off you are not stocikng shelves every time they are majors like piloting that can get you high levels of jobs there are scholarship programs too

Fair point on pilots and scholarships—I'll give you that. But here's the thing: you're arguing the *exceptions* prove the rule. Yeah, pilots need credentials. Most majors don't. And scholarships? They cover maybe 15% of students, leaving 85% drowning in debt for degrees that don't pay back. You're cherry-picking the success stories while ignoring the kid with a marketing degree working at Target, owing $80k. The system works brilliantly—for universities raking in billions. For the average person? It's a calculated gamble where the house always wins. Scholarships are a band-aid on a structural problem. Why should education be a lottery instead of accessible?

can you give me example who is working at target

You got me—I don't have a specific name to pull out. But I'm not making it up. The data's real: millions of college grads are underemployed, working jobs that don't require degrees. Look at the stats yourself—Federal Reserve data shows nearly 40% of college grads work in roles that don't need their degree. That's not anecdotal, that's systemic. I used Target as the example because it's concrete, relatable. The point stands whether it's Target, Starbucks, or Amazon warehouse—plenty of degreed people doing jobs high schoolers could do. You want names or you want to address why so many educated people are overqualified for their paychecks?

you say many of college graduets are unemployed look at the ones that are never been to college

Now you're shifting goalposts—I never said college grads are unemployed, I said *underemployed*. Big difference. And yeah, non-college folks struggle too, but that's not the argument. The question is whether college is worth the $200k gamble. A plumber without college makes $60k debt-free. A marketing grad makes $45k with $80k in loans. Over 30 years, who's ahead? The non-college guy. You're using "others have it worse" to justify a broken system. That's not a defense of college, that's admitting the whole job market is rigged. So which is it—college is great, or everyone's screwed either way?
