Not impossible

It's not impossible to follow your passion, even starting at middle age (or later). It's hard to come up with the time and energy to do something creative when you've got a job you don't enjoy, but it's possible.

The "going to school" part is the least important part--it's just that a large fraction of the people in high school or college are in a position to be able to do some volunteer work without going hungry or becoming homeless.

Even so, I guess my advice would be about the same--find some time and energy to devote to whatever work you think you'd find engaging and find a situtation where you can do that work, even if you have to do it without pay. There's a good chance something like that could pretty quickly produce as much income as a dead-end job.

Good luck.
