What, really, is the point of going to school to get a certificate in a job you know you'll hate, so that you can move to somewhere with skills in a job that you hate that maybe pays a little more? That just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Get a skill in a job you might actually like, and then move for a better job doing that same thing you enjoy.
Or, go be a waiter somewhere. It will pay the same or more than bookkeeping. Or work at a store. Mow lawns. Walk dogs. All of the above. Pretty much anything other than bookkeeping.
I was pretty much going to same the same thing so instead I will just quote this!
