Perhaps you need to ask, "How easy..." In my neighboorhood there's a photography school where anyone can take a class for $100. There's a great selection of courses. The classes last for eight weeks and at the end you get a certificate for the class you took.
Now you should ask yourself, "How hard woult it be to find yourself a job as a photographer?"
I don't have the answer for that one but like all things, some are more fortunate than others.
