How hard is it to get into surveying?

Hi people, I want to get into surveying because I like the idea of driving around, taking my surveys and create some plans/staticstics with the collected data. I found a job offer which says its nice to have first experiences with CAD and any CIS software. I didn't particular worked with CAD but with autodesk inventor so i don't think that would be my worst issue but is it difficult to learn a CIS software? I have seen some qCis tutorials on youtube are these recommendable? What will most likely my biggest challenge? Thanks in advance
