Linguistics is not an especially easy field to get an academic career in, so this may be adding a lot of risk to your life, if that'd be the direction you wanted to go in.
Not that that means you shouldn't, but it makes a lot of sense to stop by a solid department at a reasonably local university (which for you presumably means either College Park or Georgetown? not sure...) and spending 45 min with their "director of grad studies" or the like. Do your homework first, though. In particular, if you lack a university degree, getting into grad school is apt to be a very complicated process, if you don't want to first pick up a B.A.
Spell checkers never know any of the words in my field...
