  1. After a career in journalism, I have gone back to university and am currently getting my BA in History of Art in one of the best programs in the UK (it includes some curating classes too). I'm thinking ahead to my masters degree and PhD. I can not find a program that focuses on what I want: Medieval French visual culture. So my idea was to get an MA in History of Art, followed by an MA in Medieval Studies. I would then go for my PhD. That is a five year plan (each MA takes one year and the PhD about three.). My question is this: is that totally nuts? I am 46 this year. I am getting these degrees because I want them. I really don't know how or even if they will serve a future career. My journalism career is dead but I did write a well-received novel when I was younger and I'm thinking of simply being an independent writer and curator after I get my PhD. On the one hand I feel this need to hurry up and get through it all (because of my age). On the other hand, I worry having a Medieval Studies MA could hurt me when I apply to PhD programs. I'd like to know your thoughts. How weird would it be to get two MAs before the PhD? Thanks for any opinions.
