In my country, Poland, all studios are free to Polish citizens or people with Polish roots (mainly about those Poles who live in countries of the former USSR)
I am a Pole. Although in my country, all full-time studies are free, there is an unwritten rule that people over 30, does not take into full-time studies in the field of medicine (doctors, or nurses)
Recently started helping as a volunteer in the foundation of collecting donations for children with severe developmental disorders.
My manager says that sometimes begins to doubt the mercy of God, when he looks at this poor kids:-(
I told him that it might just God sent us to help them.
This man is training me to be a charitable foundation activist, I really like this activity, I am partially disabled Asperger's, but I can help this kid and this is important, I LOVE WHAT I WILL DO.
In this forum, I met a very nice American woman (though mostly Americans YA) This woman is a nurse, I thought to enroll in college nursing studies are free, at least for me, I'm done now as 30 years, I'd have to pay if I started studying nursing at 30, but Polish male nurses are considered to be gay (which in my case is even close to the truth 
) and in the best case for the effeminate (which in my case is far from the truth:-) )
I'd have to start training courses in mathematics, chemistry, and biology to improve my grades from high school, unfortunately, these courses are paid for, and I am poor. I always wanted to be a doctor, my idol is Dr. Christiaan Barnard and Late Professor Zbigniew Religa. I would love to be a doctor but I know it was once the dream does not meet:-(

Heh, yeah, I worked in a hospital for over 13 years (in the Facilities department). We had a manager who'd been with us for over 20 years, having started out as a mechanic. He went back to school in his late 40's to become a nurse and finally did when he was 50, joining the ranks of many more young men.
Of course, I can't speak to what the culture is like in other countries. Maybe they're more progressive, maybe it's been slower to change... only those who live there can say.
Yes, I agree about not knowing about the cultural progressiveness in other countries. It is my hope that some of those older views are becoming more and more of a stigma themselves. I cannot imagine changing fields after so long, but that is not to say it can't be done because obviously it can.

We always can have dreams thus not always we can fulfil them Well, if you like doing activist work and your desire is to help disabled children, you could consider social work. It would be a lot less 'sciencey.'
Also, if you wanted to do research, that library/info science would probably come in handy.

You could also get certified in counseling maybe... it's not quite the same, but it would be a step in the right direction and it's cheaper and less time consuming, but I don't know how that applies in poland.

In the US social work has many applications. Many MSWs are licensed therapists and working in agency settings or private practice. There are tons of people in my university's MSW program with undergrad degrees in psychology.
Or, if, like me, you aren't warm and fuzzy, you can take your Social Work degree and do agency administration and research, public policy, advocacy, etc.
I plan to do research on chronic homelessness, housing first programs, anti-poverty programs, etc.
