Going back to school is a little difficult with a full-time job and two toddlers at home. :( *sigh*
How's accounting? Well although various accounting organizations are trying to make it appear a sexy career choice, pure accounting is fundamentally boring. However, there's many things you can do with an accounting degree that doesn't involve putting numbers in appropriate columns. I'm more of a financial analyst - I help people make financial decisions, help them manage their budgets, etc. Also (well at least here in Canada) accounting is the most in demand profession so it makes it a very safe career choice. The stability is nice since I have a little family to take care of... As for accounting being difficult or not, really depends on the people. Some find it easy and others can't understand it...
It's a interesting career choice but I rarely see any of my peers being very passionate about their jobs. That's why I have other creative hobbies. ;)
