Switching Career Paths

I am currently an Internal Wholesaler (sell variable annuities), I didn't know what I wanted to do after school (I was an econ major) and I just sort of took this job, I am not a fan of the financial sales. I have only been doing this job for a little over a year now but its not for me. My question would be, if I want to go into the fin. analyst side of things should I go the MBA route (I didn't go to a target school), CFA route, or take some financial modeling courses and go entry-level business analyst role if I can even get that? I don't have any prior financial modeling exp. and it seems to be a core prereq. for all of the analyst roles.
