I was more or less enrolled in two and got cold feet each time for the same reasons the grandparent post says, it didn’t make financial sense, and my experience of research to date had not been stellar.

Ironically, the first was ML back before ML was hot, so if I had done it I’d probably be in a very different position today. However the reasoning still stands.
