I'm seriously contemplating studying for another degree, this time a BA in History.

I know for certain that I'd really enjoy this as an academic journey, since my current primary hobby is studying history for fun. However, I need to give some serious thought to the question of... do I REALLY want to study history academically, or am I just getting over-enthused as a result of how actively and keenly interested I am in Totalitarianism and the atrocities of the last century.
