I've spent some time on Codeacademy and other programming sites over the years, but they don't hold my interest long and I don't feel like I retain much. I've always been curious about raspberry pi and arduino stuff though. Would they be good tools for learning, or do I need pre-existing skills to do anything with them?

Learning what? Programming? Don't you have a full computer already?
If you want to do something with the rapsberry, you need just a minimal familiarity with linux and terminal in linux.
I was interested at first, but then got bored.. for now. If it interests you just start learning with some videos, tutorial or MOOC on the net.
It's easy, no big prerequisites.

don't buy them because you think they will help you with programming because they wont. Think of a project you want to do then buy the tools to do that project

P.S.
I would start with :
- How to install raspbian on a SD card
- how to pick a static IP address on raspbian
- how to connect to the raspberry through ssh
Then you are good to learn by yourself.

i'm using a raspberry pi as a print server, i had an pretty old canon printer that didn't have support for wireless printing so i made a print server and now i can print from my iphone and mac without installing any drivers

it is stimulating to have a work env dedicated to do one thing only.
