Is mining an easy career to get into?

I have no mining experience or qualifications but I want to give it a go. Would it be possible for me to become a miner (of any material, as long as it is shaft and not open-pit)?

I want hard work in an unforgiving environment and I think that mining take some beating. What is a day’s work like, can you give me a rough idea of the money, and what are the plus and minus points of this career choice?

Thanks.
