Hello everyone!

I'm looking to see if anyone has a similar experience to the one I am about to share: I left my corporate career in accounting and taxation to work in the non-profit sector of financial education and counseling because I feel into the "work in your passion" mindset back in 2016. Now, I am looking to transition back into my corporate career because working in the non-profit has not been lucrative - huge paycut from corporate, contracts ending meaning job cuts (constant threat that I'm tired of), thankless service (the services sometimes don't match with the community needs) under-utilized skills, too much bureaucracy, etc. I do plan on staying in this particular non-profit sector as a volunteer. The issue I'm facing is that, I left my corporate career too soon to gain any real traction for upward mobility. Now that I'm looking to go back in after nearly 5 years, I feel that I may have to start from scratch because my time as a financial counselor had nothing to do with accounting and extremely limited taxation. Should I go back to school for a masters in accounting or should I apply for entry level accounting to rebuild my experience (I remember nothing, lol)? Should I go for certifications instead (CPA, Chartered Tax Specialist, etc.)? Or should I just become a bookkeeper (there's a difference)? Does anyone else have a similar experience of career changing back to their former career path? Thanks in advance for your comments!
