If you do go further, don't get wrapped around the axle trying to learn everything at one time. As a technician (lowest level of license), you'd have hf privilege on 10 meters but mostly on vhf/uhf. There is so much to learn you can't expect to go from freshman to PhD in a crash course.
One other thing.. once you're licensed, you'd have access to the repeaters. While most, if not all don't require money to use them, there's a lot of money in equipment and maintenance as well as tower space payments.
