I am going to echo that a 2nd BA is most likely a terrible investment. Would you go back to high school to take different electives?
When you are lacking confidence about your purpose or career is the wrong time to 'redo' any part of your education. This is a version of a mistake many people on this forum made earlier in their lives, myself included.
Pat yourself on the back for getting the BA and my recommendation would be get some work experience before making your next major educational commitment. There is a reason the average age at enrollment for a MBA is close to 30 for many programs. It is normal to earn a bachelor degree in something (underwater basketweaving), work in a related or unrelated field for a while, find your purpose and career, and then return for graduate school in a field that may have nothing to do with your bachelor degree.
If you must get additional education, I would echo the earlier comment focusing on either professional certification or just plain education through work experience.
If you are going to go back for a degree, try to get into a master program, not a second bachelor program.
