Spec is right--start with community college. That way, you can take a variety of classes in a variety of subjects and figure out what you want to do. Call your local community college and ask to meet with 1) an admissions counselor, and 2) a financial aid counselor. File your FAFSA now, even before calling.
Use the community college's resources while you're there--meet with department advisors in majors you might be interested in pursuing, and meet with a career counselor at the college to figure out what the job prospects are for the fields you have in mind. The great thing about CC is that it really is for people of all ability levels--so if you decide you want to brush up on your math skills, they definitely offer the courses to help you do so, because in some respects CC is meant to be a stepping stone to a four-year school for people who aren't prepared to go straight to a four-year school. Plus, they almost always offer a good array of vocational and technical education as well, if you are interested in learning another trade.
To get into the CC here, even for casual classes, I had to take an assessment in reading and math; many schools do the same thing. The assessment will give you a better idea of what classes to take. I'd really recommend sticking with a general "arts" course your first couple terms--whatever the basic writing class is, whatever math class you get placed in, and electives. An advisor at the college can tell you more, but that's generally how they like students to start off.
