It is very good to have an ambition of having a career in it…
But, it needs hard work and a very strong commitment.
First of all search for a suitable place and then opt a suitable option in IT.
As you can see, vague questions lead to vague and useless answers. It’s better to do some research first, and then ask clear questions about specific problems.
