You love the idea of doing something you’re not doing now. I see further down in another comment, you dismissed the idea of learning from free online resources.

If you were in your 30s and in school, you’d love to be able to go off in the and work with your hands — or something else to distract yourself.

I didn't dismiss the idea of learning from online resources. I constantly work through online courses/lectures and books. I only noted that the experience is inferior to going to college where you can completely focus on learning with a group of peers, and where you are held accountable.

I'd love to have the "college experience" again now, but this time with a focus on learning instead of a focus on getting good grades. Focusing on good grades (over learning) is the rational choice as a young student and I don't regret doing so, but now my goals are different.
