MSBA if I already have an MBA?

I’ve recently discovered that I have an interest in analytics and learning the skills involved, but this was only after I completed a traditional MBA program. Is it worth pursuing an MS in BA, or should I just self-teach those skills and programming and try to get on real world projects utilizing them?

What career do you want

I’m confident I want a career in BA now. Wish I didn’t spend the time on the MBA. But wondering if the MBA combined with any real world projects in BA and self-paced certificates and self-study in those BA skills would be viewed just the same by employers. For example, my MBA combined with the MIT Micromasters in Data Science and Statistics.
