1. My plan was to complete my master's in political science and then head to law school. I wasn't necessarilly interested in being a trial lawyer, but I wanted to work as a legal researcher or legal anlyst. I just lost interest as I made my way through grad school in political science.

2. I probably should not have writter 'computational scientist.' I'm basically interested in statistical computing and visualization of large data sets.

IMO, there are two paths by which you can pursue that: experience and academia. The best experience route is to continue to grow and expand your business. The best academic route is a Phd, not another bachelor's. In an important sense, they're similar because either will probably take at least 5 years. And of course there is nothing to keep you from doing both.

Good luck.

Statistics is an area where they generally take students from all fields into master's programs. The most common second master's subject among the grad students I know is statistics - in fact, half of the lab I'm in (biology) are Biology PhD/Statistics MS dual degree students, because they're interested in working with large biological datasets. You might look into that. See if you can find a stats professor that specializes in computation and large datasets.
