Going back to school to study biology and need advice

I’m 25 and I want to go back to school and study biology. I started school when I was 18, but found out my ex was pregnant about 2 weeks after school. Long story short she had a new boyfriend, moved out of state and was alienating me. I dropped out of school and got a job traveling doing construction making decent money to afford a lawyer. Met my son when he was 8 months old while I was driving through her town to get to my next job site. Swabbed his mouth and got dna test back and he was mine. December of 2015 I got my rights to my son and judge told me to take him home for Christmas. Fast forward to now, I’m tired of working dead end jobs for close to minimum wage. My ex is 25 and has been divorced once, married twice and has 3 kids now, all with different guys. I have myself. Never has a stable home, constantly moving. My son is basically always with his grandma. I want to try to eventually get physical custody of him. I do work, my schedule is Tuesday through Saturday 4am-8am and 4pm-8pm. I can switch to part time and just do the morning hours. Okay, now that you know what’s going on in my life, I need help figuring out how I should go about getting my education? I have a passion for science and have wanted to become a biologist since I can remember or something along those lines. I also love chemistry and was very good at it. How do I go about getting the education? Should I do online for two years? Should I just enroll in a community college and make the commute? What are good online schools? Maybe other jobs in that field if you know of any. I’m in the United States btw if that matters. Any and all advice will be very appreciated.
