It's more do-able in the arts (I basically did), but you still need support from your supervisor (and a supervisor who can support it) - and, while what I did worked well for me in terms of what I'm doing now, I think if I'd been staying in academia, I'd have been better advised to have done something else. And I didn't know, going in, that I wouldn't want to pursue a career in academia. It worked out OK for me, but a lot of that was as much luck as anything else.
