Lol great ideas above but on a slightly more serious note, I think you could easily pivot into FP&A, data analysis, or even project management since I'm sure you've got great organizational and financial skills. If you’re more into the people side of things, consulting or teaching accounting could work too.

Pivot out! Recruiting works, operations maybe. Maybe a forecasting role?

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
