I have a degree in Accounting. I never got an MBA. I never got a CPA. I started full time right out of college at a Big 4 public accounting firm and stayed the bare minimum amount of time to get that heavy-hitting name on my resume without looking like I despised every second of it. I've since worked for two different companies doing various roles including SEC reporting, commissions accounting, financial planning and analysis, treasury management, and have had involvement in many debt and investment transactions. I've literally never done taxes.
As others have stated, there is a LOT you can apply this degree to, some areas more lucrative than others, and some experience/education/certification requirements can be more strict depending on what you want to do. The career can really ramp up though, but it does take some time. As with any career, being in the right place at the right time helps immensely.
I will say that once you acquire a few certifications (I say that, but I've done quite well without them), ample experience, and a robust network of people willing to vouch for your skills, it becomes much easier to exit and become a part time consultant, especially at the Senior Accountant or Senior Financial Analyst level. I know of many people who only work for consulting firms and take jobs as they please. They have assured me that it doesn't even necessarily take an immense amount of skill to provide value as a consultant, because so many companies have such backwards systems and processes that even minor improvements can make huge differences. Companies simply get very set in their ways and rarely have an outside perspective to show them different ways of doing things.
I have one friend in particular that works about 6 months out of the year (on different client engagements, ranging 1-3 months in length) for her "fun" money which she uses to travel the remaining 6 months out of the year. She gets hired most often as an Accountant, Senior Accountant, Accounting Manager, Financial Analyst, or Senior Financial Analyst. Anything above that and you are not going to find quite as much demand for those roles. This of course is location dependent - we live in a metro area with plenty of large corporate and medium/small company presence.
I will say that, given the fact that you've already worked 11 years, the "typical" career path will not be as acceptable to you (hell, it wasn't to me even at 24 y/o). It probably has changed a bit now, but at the time it was most common for a new grad to join a public accounting firm while studying for their CPA, pass the CPA, earn 2 years of experience at their current firm, gain their certification and then leave for a hopefully less stressful "industry" job. Those 2 years at a public accounting firm while studying for the CPA required massive amounts of work. There was no worklife balance. The hours expected during busy season were astronomical. The firm I worked for literally hired 90 college grads the summer I started and 2 years later there may have been 30 of us left (check back 1 year later and that number was in the single digits).
That specific career path, or "putting in your dues" was the fastest way to excel in Accounting (Excel, lol). If you didn't have that Big 4 name on your resume, it was guaranteed to be filed in the recycling bin. At 24, that lifestyle was exhausting, but doable. At 34 I don't think I'd be able to manage much more than a cackle and a middle finger as I walked out the door on to better things in life. I echo the person that said to try to find an accounting role within your current company rather than hopping on the typical accounting career treadmill. That may be far less stressful, and you can probably skip the "putting in your dues" nonsense without putting yourself back too far.
Be mindful that I graduated 11 years ago, pre-recession, so this is really just my experience with the industry. Things have probably changed quite a bit.
Also, become a pro in Excel if you aren't already. If you are, people think you are a mfing WIZARD, but if you aren't, it can be a serious handicap.
Lastly, I hope you like spreadsheets. :)
