In the early 1980’s I was a single parent and my daughter was still young. We lived only a 10 minute walk from my parents and my daughter would stay with them when I took college night classes. I worked all day and took classes at night. Fortunately for me colleges cost between $30 and $300 each so no debt. The point is you can take night classes for whatever courses you can find and still keep your day job. I worked, took classes, ate, slept and even had a little time for my family. I did this for 5 years. It is hard but you can do it too.
In a similar example you can join the arrl.org, find a ham radio club on their site and join your local club. Go to the club’s meeting and events and you can get some hands on experience with ham radio. If you decide study for the licencing exam(s) they are a bunch of great folks who will answer your questions.
Nothing worth having is easy. That’s just the way life works.
