(yes i ready the note first, still have some questions someone may be able to help with) I live in Texas, 22 M, My current job is with internet, installing at houses, building towers, climbing, etc…

I have lately been wanting to change my job and life up by starting the ranching life. I’m currently renting a place out, but getting to the point where I need to either buy a house or move to find something else. Before I commit to a location (buying a house) I want to get into ranching and move somewhere else to work on a big ranch. I already know it’s going to be a tough and not pleasant lifestyle but it’s what I want to do to be honest (work with cattle, take care of the ranch, anything and everything I’m able to) I just don’t know where to start, I just turned 22, 2 months ago and i’ve looked on indeed for ranch hand positions, etc.. but most options or listings I’m finding are requiring prior experience with welding, cattle, fencing, etc, and as I said before, my only job experience is installing internet and such (I am more than willing to learn what I need to anyway I can) How should I find a ranch willing to accept me and teach me the skills so i can make it a year round thing, or what would be the best step for me to take myself to have a little experience so I can get to a ranch and then learn the rest of the trade. I know it will be way different work but I already spend all day just about outside working or in attics so im not scared to be in bad situations and push through to get the job done (again I know it will be way different conditions than I currently work in, just mentioning that I don’t care and will do what it takes to finish). I honestly want to learn the trade and make this my lifestyle (ik not the best decision but it’s the one i’m wanting to make) I had no experience in the internet industry but after a week or so of following someone and training i became a full time tech working for over 3 years and am currently the only tech so I know i can learn what to do it relatively fast

Honestly I just want to know if I have a shot at getting into this or if I should just put it on the back burner and continue with my life as is. (I don’t need comments saying I will hate it, I know how most people feel about it, please give me tips on how to get into this life or be honest and tell me I don’t have a shot, thank you in advance.)
