Well, I agree with you about maximizing opportunities with an MA. However you do that depends upon your personal circumstances, but if a company is going to pay for it, then I recommending playing by their rules to make it happen. There is very little financial aid for MA students, so a fully funded MA is a great opportunity – you can consider it equivalent to income, because if the company were not paying for it, you would be. So that’s income gained by sticking around for a couple of years, and through the higher salaries you could command afterwards.

As to accelerated second BA programs, I don’t know which universities have them (I teach at a regional public in Colorado, which would be unlikely to interest you). But upon a quick Google search, it looks like you can make something work at CUNY, a few SUNYs, Brooklyn College, possibly Columbia (in the College of General Studies), some divisions of NYU (possibly nothing applicable to your interests, though). You’ll have to look up the programs at individual schools to see if they work for you.
