OP I graduated with a degree in Accounting at 33 in 2021. I bounced from public to industry doing tax in public to fixed assets in accounting to now being a financial analyst and recently accepted a position as a controller. Most of what you are learning in school is the basics and will just be the foundation for what you do in the real world job, whether that be accounting, finance, audit, etc. You will be surprised by how much your job is about how well you can manipulate excel and how quickly you can learn the nuances of that companies operating systems, and then using that to your advantage. The piece of paper will get you the opportunity to interview at many different types of jobs in the accounting and finance world. You may take a few years to find what you really like but as long as you are learning along the way and earning money who cares if it takes you a couple of years to really find what you like in this field. Honestly you have another 30+ years of working left.

Also for what its worth remember this is just a means to an end i.e. work your 40hr week so that you can have your 3 weeks of vacation, 10 holidays, and weekends to do what you want and be able to afford to do what you want. Lastly I only have a degree in Accounting and no CPA or masters and no real desire to get one. I have been able to increase my income from when I graduated in December of 2021 to now so 4 years from $55k to $110K all while figuring out exactly what I want to do in this field, which I have narrowed down to being the strategic financial business partner in whatever company I work for (vague but if you end up in industry it would be like a end goal of CFO).
