I have a BBA in Finance w/ a real estate concentration (2019) & a MBA (2022). I have 4 yrs of accounting experience. About 10 yrs of operational/management experience prior to that.

I’ve always wanted to do something in the real estate/home designer/CAD/architect/ fields. However, I continued to go down a different path. Long story short, I want to do something that I enjoy & am passionate about.

Any suggestions please? Accounting at an architectural firm? Back to school?

Thank you!
