Disagree. There are too many STEM students already. It's just that plenty of web development shops are okay with hiring a physicist. It's a waste of money and time to encourage more STEM education unless the student is actually passionate about the subject in itself.
The downsides of the current trend are:
- pretentious web development job posts requiring master's degrees in CS "or related field" (as if physics prepares you for jQuery).
- debt-ridden, unfulfilled scientists relegated to the above
