I just thought I'd throw an idea out there. I realize it is probably outside the realm of what you would really like to do, but just in case there are others reading for whom it may apply...
Freelance and virtual bookkeeping has a lot of the perks you seek. Remote work is possible. Flexible hours. Decent to very high hourly rate (depends on your experience, marketing skills, and if you're self employed or not). No degree required to get started, but a BSBA/accounting would be useful if you wanted to work for somebody else and climb their ladder.
Here are a couple of sites so you can see what I mean:

Virtual Accounting and Bookkeeping Careers at AccountingDepartment.com
I did this sort of work for many years. It pays well and provides flexibility.
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck!

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
