Moving from FP&A

Currently I've really been feeling like I should try to change my career path. I'm nearly 24 and almost done with my first year in an FP&A role for the Asset Management division of a F500 company. I have a finance degree with an average GPA from a non-target, and I'm currently doing my part-time MBA at the same school. My rationale for doing the part time MBA right after my undergrad was because I have a parent working at the University which allows me to attend for free (this decision was made before the F500 job). As of lately, I've really been wanting to make a career path change to a position that generates revenue rather than working on a P&L and forecast daily. Are there any revenue driving areas of finance that my current work experience would allow me to break in to? Is it even somewhat likely with my background that I could land something in a more lucrative industry? Is there anything I can do to begin working towards making a career change like this? Maybe dropping the MBA and going for the CFA? I appreciate any advice I can get.
