I dropped out of MIT both to do a startup overseas (ITAR) and because my parents wouldn't contribute any of the "expected family contribution" and I couldn't get enough loans on my own.
Rather than all the crazy games, I'd prefer if education were genuinely market priced, or if individuals could take reasonable debt loads or sign indenture agreements. A commercial organization should be allowed to do something like ROTC; paying an undergrad full college costs in exchange for a guaranteed employee for 2-4y post graduation at market rate.
