Hand Painted Pottery

I want to start pottery hobby but want to be good at it.

Are there any schools I can go to learn the science and art of pottery?
I’m 52 years old medical professional right now.

Most art schools/art programs offer ceramics classes, which are "pottery". You can take these classes via continuing education, or you can even do a degree, if you’d like. You can also take ceramics/pottery classes if there are any local "do it yourself" pottery shops near you.

under 100 bucks and not crappy

Have you tried e-Bay? Have you asked at art schools and potters that may be purchasing new ones and getting rid of their older ones? Have you gone on line and into the artist's community to determine what brand of potters wheel you would like? You generally get what you pay for in a tool and a potter's wheel is pretty basic to the trade.
