You are never too old to return to college. There are 90 year olds who get degrees. And, some colleges have free admission for people over 60.
As for getting a job, even younger people cannot count on that. I am 56 and recently lost my computer programming job. And, I am not having any luck in getting a new programmer job. I think it mainly depends on the type of degree. Some fields are more in demand than others.

There is no age limit on returning to college, and it is always worth it to take college classes even if it is just to further your knowledge. However, no one is guaranteed a job after graduation, that will depend on you.
Just consider the effort it will take to get to and from classes and the amount of study you will need to do to determine if you will be able to tackle returning to school with no ill effects to your health.
I applaud your desire to continue your education...it's never too late!

I don't think you're evert too old to go back to school. People go for all sorts of different reasons. The intellectual and social aspect would be enough for me at 62.

Go to college, no a job isn't guaranteed but if you really want a degree go for it. Recently a 95-year-old woman got her college degree.

Try taking online classes if it's available.
