Help seeking Astronomy degree as an adult

I am currently a middle school English teacher in Nebraska. Astronomy has always been a lifelong dream of mine and I am now finally in pursuit of that dream. I am posting for information and advice on any opportunities that may assist me. I am interested working in the astronomy field. I have a bachelor's of science in education, as well a master's degree in curriculum and instruction. I'm aware that my credentials won't go very far for the field that I am pursuing but would appreciate any tips or advice that I can get. Thanks!
