Perhaps you can start part time at the CC to take the introductory level math, physics, statics / solid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. courses to see if continued study in mechanical engineering or physics is something like more than your current work.

Physics majors often end up working in computers or finance; actual physics work typically depends on getting a PhD in physics.

Another option, if you think you might like designing computers and software over managing computers and software is to look in the CS direction. You have both self-education and classroom education options here.
