Help getting started?

Hey engineers. I am a 28 year old dude who is a major audiophile and music nerd like im guessing most people here are lol. I've recently decided I hate my career choice and really want nothing more than to be a FOH engineer. Am I too late to transition into this age wise? What would be the best way to get started on this path? I'm located in LA so the opportunity is endless just needed some beginner steps. Thanks guys, keep your head up 💯
