Where should I land

I am currently a General Manager in the family entertainment center business. I Currently make a base salary of 73k with a 20% bonus potential. I have a restaurant/hospitality background where I’ve been the GM of a fast food restaurant and a casual dining restaurant. The next step for me would be district manager but I’ve realized a couple things. District managers get no rest and no work life balance and work crazier hours than I am now. This is a problem for me. I am 24 no kids, I would like to start dating this year to eventually marry and have a family that I can spend time with. I am very intelligent, a quick learner, and love/ am great with numbers. I have interest in business, accounting, and Human Resources.

To skip to my question, what career would allow me to work mornings with weekends off, have a great family life and work balance, as well as pay decently to where I’m not taking a huge pay cut. I am willing to get any certifications needed to pursue the career. Any and all help, advice, a laid out step by step would be appreciated. I genuinely just want to be a husband and father that has time to be both.
