Let me make it so simple even you can understand it. Hypothetically OR in the Real World, you can pick up animation as a hobby. And if you like doing it you can THEN go on to raw dog applying to studios with your material OR apply to an animation college and spend 10k or so a year for them to possibly teach you how to animate semi-decently.
IE you need to enjoy doing it and have some natural talent or pay a lot of money for someone to teach you before you can start making any kind of money. If this does not sound appealing to you then give up now.
There is no other magic way to go about it, hypothetically or not. So if you want to begin, pick a piece of software, load up a youtube tutorial, and get started.
