I would consider working or interning in your desired field. If you can do some professional research (with a P.I. at a university, not in your garage) and get your name on a few papers, that would probably really help. As you already have a degree, I am not sure that going back to community college would help, but I do not know much about switching to engineering from life sciences. There is a lot you can do in mol bio without getting a degree in bioengineering. If you like genetically engineering things, there are plenty of ways to get involved with that and NOT be an engineer. Looks up CRISPR, TALEN, zinc finger nucleases, etc. All of these are done in mol bio labs as well as bioengineering labs.
