Thank you for the compliment.

I can wholeheartedly recommend starting. Just about anywhere, really.

I'm a total noob when compared with real electronics engineers... but it doesn't stop me from trying things out. [it helps that I have extensive IT experience, tho]

And it all gets easier with time, as long as you're willing to get your hands dirty.

And if you want a few pointers, then EEVBlog (on YT), hackaday and adafruit are all fantastic places to help you get started with tinkering.

And if you want to start on a budget, then get a few basic things from china. Or -- the "elegoo" arduino kit (that I got on Amazon for ~$40 a while ago) has plenty of projects to tinker with. And if you go through all of them, you will have plenty of experience under your belt... and it will sort of rub off on you. :-)
