Not to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like you're doing your PhD because you can't think of anything better to do. That doesn't exactly seem like a recipe for happiness.
Indeed, I'm almost convinced of this. My advisor invited me to work with him then I got excited by the idea of doing something more complex than what I was doing. I wasn't really thrilled by getting into school again, but I guess it was good to my ego :P
A year passed and the freshness faded away. Now I'm struggling to get things done because I really don't see a point in what I am doing.
I don't know if I'm going to drop out yet, but if I do it won't take long to happen.
Well, at worst I guess I'm learning what not to do :)
