Work-from-home Ideas

[mrs.b]

Thank you, publius! I may look into that down the line after I've earned the credential. I've finally decided what I want to be when I grow up (that happens after 40, I hope!) and have trimmed my previously not-so-short list of graduate schools to two...which I'll refrain from naming here in open public for fear of jinxing myself on the application processes.

Unfortunately, I do not yet have that Masters degree yet, though. After some more brainstorming, planning, and so on, I am going to stick it out where I am for as long as possible while I at least start the process of earning a Masters in Accountancy with plans to eventually sit the CPA exam. Holding an MAcc and CPA opens a lot of part-time and seasonal work options locally, that will allow more time at home to focus on kiddo's education. It captures the parts of my job that I absolutely love (all things numerical) while offering enough of a career change to eliminate the parts for which I am not so fond (HR). In the meantime, we're reworking the home schedule and kiddo curriculum to hopefully fix the time-crunch issues since I'll need to squeeze a bit more out of the clock to get back to hitting the books.

I realize I am/was asking for the holy grail of employment opportunities - a telecommuting job doing "something" and making decent money. If those were widely available, I doubt many would be here, looking into career changes!
