Anyone go from an MSW to pursuing accounting?

Hi all,

Sorry for being all over the place.

I recently graduated with my MSW degree. I applied to grad school to become a hospital case manager, because at the time I liked the qualities of the job– structured environment with clear protocols and standards, continuous change with the turnover of patients, and the rewarding/fulfilling aspects of serving a medical population. I took an internship at a hospital, so I know what a day-to-day looks like and while I know it can be a stressful job, I generally enjoyed it and still feel like I would enjoy it overall. The thing is, I am not that social and struggle with imposter syndrome, so there were times where it was overwhelming in a way that I knew was not from the job itself and I’m sure that will be reexperienced if I start work there. I first wanted to pursue accounting, I took all the prerequisites in undergrad including IT courses, economics, math, and accounting courses. When I decided I didn’t want to be stuck working a mundane job for the entirety of my adulthood I swiftly turned my focus to social work before it was too late. However, since doing so, I’ve reconsidered accounting at various times, considering the decent pay, good job security, etc.

The second half of my MSW program was a struggle. My internship was at a counseling center and knew quickly that this area of social work simply wasn’t for my personality. I didn’t feel good at it and didn’t really enjoy it. At my internship there was a severe lack of structure that, by the time I realized it, made me feel like I didn’t really learn a lot either. Client folders/paperwork were disorganized, clinical notes were often submitted late, and I was left with this sense of freedom to dictate my own learning, some of which were procedures I couldn’t yet know needed learning (no prior experience which they knew). I tried to see if I could switch my internship elsewhere but it was too late. While I liked the material I was learning in my classes, sometime during all of this I also started spending my off-time refreshing my learning of accounting. It wasn’t serious, it was honestly just something I did as a relief from the mess of internship but I was losing interest and I thought it might be useful.

Now that I am graduated, I can’t say I am feeling the most confident despite facing challenges and making it through. I feel like I am worser off for it and am unprepared. I have some experience of a case management job, but am feeling the imposter syndome and want to pursue accounting. I think these insecurities are coming from a lack of prior experience and causing confusion about how to move forward. Having an unclear vision for how my schedule and life will be is unnerving. I’m 26F and I try not to think about the timeclock I have for finding a life partner and having children lol. Is there a way I can obtain a MSW job position while also holding a side job for an entry-level accounting job? I feel like this might be the best way to figure it out but have no plan as to how I can do this or how long is best until deciding, or even if it would be a sufficient/productive means to decide.

TL;DR: I graduated with an MSW but took all prerequisites for accounting and am reconsidering it freshly after graduating. Is it possible to obtain an entry level accounting job on the side of a full-time MSW job while trying to decide and is it too late?
