Wanted law school, now want to pursue MBA down the line

I have a B.A. in Political Science from State U and a few years of work experience as a paralegal. I got a job at GS/MS as a compliance analyst. I realize now that I don't want to do law school at all, and I'd rather work in business/finance. Is there any way I can switch to risk? Or better yet position myself to get into a top MBA program down the line?

Looking for suggestions, open to anything. I'm still pretty young so I have plenty of time to make a switch.
