Applying for a second masters

So I decided to apply for a second masters. Why? I found my job to be less than stimulating. As i exited depression i became acutely aware of the things that made me happy. I figured that i could continue my professional career whilst studying part time, especially in a subject area that I enjoyed. First of all my thoughts went to doing an mphil/phd straight away. But it didn't make any sense. I did a degree in french and history and a MSc in european real estate. At Uni I really started to do well in history, especially towards the end and i enjoyed it. The first logical step was to do a History MA.

The problem was as far as my career went I had a everything. It Is a bit like David Beckham going to LA galaxy and getting everything laid on a plate, a high salary, adoring fans, perfect weather,celebrity lifestyle, but at the same time something motivated him to come back and bust his gut at AC Milan in the cold Italian winter at the age of 35 and now he's being linked to Spurs. Theres that personal challenge and hunger to learn and succeed.

I figured that i could do the masters part time whilst working part time.
options:
History or European history at ucl
Modern history or European studies at KCL
African and Asian History at SOAS
International history at lse
History at queen Mary

My first choice iseuropean history at ucl but ill see where things go.
