Bingo (vote with your dollar etc.). However, as others have mentioned, there is a huge risk gradient to overcome for students wishing to drop out to stand behind their principles. They need to be somewhat reassured that they are not gambling their careers away. One way that those out in the workforce could help would be to make a hefty and very public effort to hire as many of these dropout students as possible, credentials be damned. That's how it used to work back in the day anyway, why can't it be done again? With all of the excipient courses that one is forced to take that have little or nothing to do with one's profession, they won't be missing out on much.
