If you are not from an IT background then it would be a little tough for you to move into the DevOps field. But, if you start learning basics with all your dedication, it is not impossible either as a lot of people are moving into DevOps from a non-IT background.

Here are some prerequisites that you can start grasping before you make a switch:

Basic understanding of Linux.Unix system
 	Knowledge of a scripting language
 	Knowledge of cloud systems
 	Linux networking
 	Basics of Web Servers including Apache, PM2, etc
 	Basics of Databased like MySQL, MongoDB, etc

These are some skills that you can start with and then if you feel you are doing good, you can start diving deep into it.
