Along these lines, if you are in the US I recommend a local community college. You'll get a solid foundation, you be on the correct pace, and you'll be working with people whose primary mission is to teach you. You'll also find that you're not alone. I don't recommend self-study, simply because if that was for you then you probably wouldn't have asked the question. It may turn out after a couple of classes jump-starting you that you then want to self-study: fine, you can make that decision then (we'll even give you advice lol). But don't start there.
