for in person, the best idea is to go to college while living at home, so one does not have to hang around the campus after hours. Evening departments, as YS mentions, are often a good deal – students are more mature.
For online classes, you don’t need to settle for a local community college. There are places like MIT open courses, coursera that should have recording of very good professors on advanced topics.
I agree on CS – this generally means “instructing computer” to do something. This ranges from making screens for ACA users to making airplanes process streaming sensor data in real time.
If you learn just programming, then this is one type of jobs, depending on what language you learn. If you study CS, then you can be a system designer. Better yet, learn something else – science, engineering, statistics, health – then, you can be the person who converts ideas from that field of study into computers.
