Hi Martina,
I can really relate to your post. I am trying to think of something I can do for more that $8 (gasp) while I go back to my studies... I can't believe I used to make a salary. But back then I was a registrar and that was way stressful.
Anyway... I was thinking. Is it possible for you to segway into something related to your degree that could earn a bit more but is still less stressful than being a CPA? What about teaching accounting? Or tutoring math... or adding in some math tutoring appointments to augment your current job? Maybe even tutoring college kids who are studying finance? Sending good thoughts your way.
