I'm not leaving one but I'm turning down an acceptance. I never really cared about the PhD credential; grad school is mostly an excuse to spend a few years working on cool stuff on someone else's dime. But if I work for or start a comparably interesting startup, then I still get that, plus I have a chance to come away rich rather than in debt.
