If you are interested, find and go to an amateur radio club meeting. The licensing test makes sure you know the regulations and some theory. It does not help introduce you to "ham culture" which is definitely a thing. I learned all the practical stuff from talking with local club members. They are usually overjoyed for new members; if not just go to the next club. Youtube and whatnot helps but it's better to be able to ask someone a stupid question, and believe me, if you want to be overwhelmed with information, ask a ham a question. In my experience there are some assholes but more genuinely kind people, mostly older folks who just want to connect with someone.
