Well... this is a topic that rings my bell too.

How does one get a HAM radio license?

What are the appropriate topics for HAM radio?

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

had to laugh, a fellow was here the other day and he says he does not even own a radio.

He pays to get all his stuff on a monitored pipe.

Learn the art and go dark.

Fully agree with getting your feet wet and then exploring what interests you. Got my license in 1958 and have been in and out of all various Ham activities over the years!

Back in the "Old Days" you had to be proficient in Morse Code but that is no longer required.

Licensed General Class Amateur Radio Operator for the past 6 years now.

I mostly chase DX (establishing new contacts in foreign countries) but am starting to get into the digital modes including JT65, SSTV, PSK31, RTTY, etc..

Any idea what specifically you want to do in the hobby? Ham Radio can be as cheap or as expensive a hobby as any others. I'm one of those idiots who started out spending a boatload of money upfront and am now paring back, hihi.

Can never have too many radios. :-)
