Smart enough to get into a phd program but dumb enough to think doing a phd was a good idea.
I was thinking of working on a PhD, but enough people with a PhD have told me not to that I've decided maybe I should listen to the smart people and not do it. Best wishes to you, you tortured soul!
I agree with those people, don't do it. Not unless you have a very specific reason for doing so like wanting to be an academic (you'd have about as much success with this as trying to be a professional athlete) or a phd level industry position.
