Career change? (Repost from IB)

Good afternoon,Just wanted to start off by saying thanks to all those who respond and read this. Currently I am 31 years old and I work for a CAT 1 nuclear facility as a security guard ( it pays decent but not where I want to be in life). I have a bachelors degree in security and intelligence with a focus in Latin America with a not so great GPA. I also did five years in the Army active duty with a combat deployment. My question is I still have enough GI Bill to get an MBA or a second bachelors degree Finance really interest me as well as stocks. What should I get a degree in? And how can I make myself marketable to employers so that I can land these nice gigs?
