You could try calling the people that do that type work in your area to see if they need a helper. Maybe just to do some of the lifting and grunt work so you can see first hand how it is done. Or maybe have them do a project for you telling them up front that you would like a lesson on how it is done as they do it. Maybe even offer a little extra money for the job and lesson together.

Hire on as a laborer in those fields and get paid to learn.
