I know I'll get in trouble for posting this here but I honestly have no clue what forum it belongs in. Sorry.

I've been browsing the net for jobs if we do decide to move. And I'm at a crossroads in my career.

The jobs I'm qualified for are either:

Management-level accounting, where I would be someone's boss
or
CPA firm

Both would pay really well and I would feel like I am actually using that piece of paper hanging on my wall (CPA license....which means nothing at my current job)

But I'm too scared to actually move up.

I don't think I'm capable of managing someone. I'm not assertive enough. I'm not smart enough.

But at a CPA firm, there's tax season. My major mental break that resulted in multiple hospitalizations in 2008 started right after my very first tax season. I can't handle being away from my family so much for 4 months straight.

And then I go wondering - do I even want to be an accountant? I picked accounting because I'm good with numbers, good at math....but do I actually LIKE this? And if not, what the heck do I do?

We're way too broke and in debt to consider starting over at minimum wage in a new career field.
