Unsure what to pursue

[Ideas]

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:

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! eeya:

Thank you! I am ideally looking to be an employee, not freelancer or business owner. However, I don't know if that is possible because of my disabilities, so I'm also trying to evaluate specific freelance/business opportunities.

It's very interesting that you don't need a degree to get started with that. I also have a friend who might be interested.

I will look into this more and consider switching to an Accounting concentration (giving up the CIS concentration, I guess).

Edit: I see that some Accounting jobs are being outsourced overseas. But, I guess there are plenty of firms who want to keep hiring here.
