Start of the Journey (I Guess)

Hi, i’m new to this sub and i believe this is my first time writing something on reddit. I’m a 23 y.o. guy, i’m working a classic 9-5, i’m studying for my second degree in Management Engeenering and do other things on the side. I’ve always been fascinated by the finance world and about two years ago i started studying the basics of this world while graduating. In the past year i haven’t done nothing new with my life, it has been a plain straight line that hasn’t teached me anything new, just how to keep my mental health straight. But in 2025 i want to do something stimulating and something new. Lots of people could think “oh he wanna jump on the boat for the easy money”. I know these aren’t easy money, no one will gift you anything in this life and trading is beyond easy. But i can’t explain to myself how people can make profit by something that’s (what i believe today) 50% like gambling. So i would love to receive from you any type of advice, every piece of information on where to start, how to start, where to study, where can i take information about this world and who are the people to follow in this world. I’m whats before the beginner, like a Neanderthal man and all of you guys to me are like the inventor of the wheel, so i will appreciate everything.
