@DumbGenius - I am in sort of the same situation as you, but on this side of 40, with a great paying job. I did MIS but don't enjoy the software development life cycle business consulting for application development anymore. I did an MBA as well, and am finishing up the CPA, and I am also looking to get a job in LA/Irvine or San Fran. I am not sure how to take a step back with a CPA, having zero experience.
Let's put our head together and come up with something!!! I would imagine MIS/MBA/CPA would lead to lucrative positions!
