I am not even talking about getting three at once, just getting three. I know a good deal of people that have gone to grad school to get an education not just a vocational education, the best example being my father. After undergrad my dad entered a JD/MBA program and completed it. After a few years in the workforce as an attorney he started teaching law and he decided to go back to school (become a teacher) and entered a philosophy phd program. He says that he didn’t get a proper education until he was in the phil. grad program. People go to grad school to become educated, not just narrow-minded specialists, and you should think of education (including graduate school) as a reward unto itself, not just in the terms of what grad school will do for you.

“You get a PhD because of a passion for a particular field”

You can’t have a passion for more than one field?
