There are two pieces Kaggle can't help you with: working through the full research cycle and developing performant models. It also emphasizes the wrong goals (for example error minimization is almost never your primary goal), but I need to work at some point and have spent enough time in this thread, so I'll skip that. :P Email me if you want to discuss, though.
Anyway Kaggle can't help with the full research cycle, since you're not identifying a relevant question yourself (this is surprisingly hard) or presenting your answer to others. The latter is hard for any route, since you really only encounter that type of volume in industry.
