My sister tried a couple of differen careers transitioning from SAHM back to work and through a divorce. She kept at different things but ultimately went through an educational program at a community college (not this area) to supplement her degree with the necessary classes/credits to sit for the CPA exam. A number of the classes met a lot online and she did very well and passed all 4 (I think) parts of the CPA exam at her first sittings. It is a manageable schedule and she is doing well, does not bring her work home, etc.

OP here. You're right, PP. He's not vested in the process yet. That's why I'm trying to find outside resources to get him started. A little push away from the nest...

Plus I don't know about your husbands, but mine will listen to an outside source more than he will to me.

That's a very important question pp.
