> Academics should [...] vot[e] with their feet. You do see the problem here, don't you?

  I don't see a problem with that, no. It would result in more people going into successful careers in industry. That's a good thing.

    The problem would be that they would no longer be academics. For a lot of people who head down that path, they consider it more of a vocation than a job. It may well be a good thing for all the next folks who consider the path, but it choosing that would come at a large personal cost for them. Most folks are not that altruistic.

      Vocation does not pay. It's fine if they prefer the grueling life, and should be left to it.
