If you're as young as I suspect....finish it. The Phd classes changed me...even though it made no difference in the pay I received when I went back teaching high school. Learning is a wonderful longevity activity. Our mind craves it.

I’ll probably go back and do the last two courses - both electives - I have 18 of 20 credits for an honours BA in history and humanities, (aka an Uber driver). As for a PHD, you should be proud!

I am 58, but young at heart, that’s must be what you sensed.

I never did the thesis........just the course work. But oh dear, did my mind expand trying to understand Foucault...and a few of the postmodernists. Derrida is a doozy. And there was a science woman, Donna Haraway, that really taught me a lot.

Maybe it was the boy in your handle that confused me?
