In a person's late 30's job prospects for professional jobs are primarily a function of the person's professional network. If you get a degree in CS, you will be one among many fresh CS grads. What will stand out is your age and work history. These will raise a natural and reasonable question "Why hasn't this person been hired by someone who has seen their work or worked with them?"
For someone whose job is going through 1000 cold call resumes a day, "No" has a low bar because the shortlist is only a small fraction of the resumes. It's not impossible. But by your late 30's "potential" is not a saleable asset.
Go to school to learn something you are directly interested in. If you want a job in BCI, Ai, aerospace, etc. apply for jobs in BCI, Ai, aerospace, etc. Good luck.
