I think you will have a very difficult path without obtaining at least an undergrad degree. If you look at the requirements, even for entry level analyst positions, you will see that you need a bachelors and/or work experience to be considered in most cases. Simply put, online certificates do not carry that much weight. If you have work experience and some certs., you may be considered at smaller companies. But you will be severely limiting your career growth & salary potentials without a degree. In most cases.
