I need help

I have spent my entire adult life supporting my spouse in his career and raising my kids. I don’t regret this, it was a decision we made together to support our family. I graduated with a general bachelors degree after not really knowing what to specialize in. Now, years later, my kids are grown enough that I feel like I need to build a career of my own and I don’t know what to do!

I’m looking into accounting programs because I’ve discovered I’m drawn to this field. But until I can do the schooling, I have a resume of job history that shows a variety of experience in entry level or minimal jobs. I’ve been trying to get my foot in the door to anything in the accounting world that I come across and that didn’t require prior experience, but obviously this is a challenge.

I don’t know where to deep dive for jobs or what programs would be best. I’m just feeling lost and like a loser for not already having this figured out.

Any thoughts?
