I'm not (yet) a highly paid consultant in this area, but I still don't think it's worth my time to participate in most of these Kaggle contests. Even the $3 million prize for the healthcare prediction isn't worth it if you think you have a chance of beating current best-practice (and think you can sell your time or have a friend who can sell your time to corporations).
