I'm 45, and I'm going back, although complications in my life are certainly attempting to hold me back.

But after all the sickness my dogs have had, I realize I don't even want it to be in the medical field, which is all I ever wanted to do previously.

Check out any local community colleges and see what they offer. They are quite affordable. Also check job ads and see what jobs are advertised in your area and just what employers are looking for.
