I can only speak for myself here, but I got into the industry by working my way up on the user side.  I showed a willingness to learn the technical side of our major systems and took extra time out of my day (with permission from my supervisor) to sit with the technical staff.  I worked my way up to being a power user (someone with a lot of security rights) in the system, and eventually when a position came open I applied and was accepted because I knew the team, knew the system, and I feel I ended up being a great BA because I could relate with the users of the systems.  I could ask the right questions during requirements gathering.

I would be hesitant to go back to school, especially for an Associates if you already have a Bachelors.  School is great, but I don't think the money you'd pay for that Associates would really help you.  Get a job, ANY job.   Get some experience, and leverage that to start moving up in the industry.  I don't know your financial situation, but I would assume school would have to come out of pocket since you won't qualify for most federal aid with a Bachelors degree already in hand.  Just start working and with hard work you can maneuver your way up the chain.
