Iām actively pursuing a PhD right now, so for me itās a yes, but Iāve had two friends drop from their respective PhD programs in the three years Iāve been in mine and for them itād be a hell no. You have to be really honest with yourself and take the decision seriously, but if you feel there arenāt much stakes (for instance you get into a fully funded program or get scholarships/fellowships) then Iād say itās worth a shot. I would never recommend grad school if youāre only doing it to ātake a break from the real worldā or something like that, but if getting a specialization in something would help you meet personal or professional goals, then itās probably gonna be worth it for you.
