First timer, where to start

[Bugzy]

Hello to all, I am new here, as well as to photography...kind of. I have always took pics and try to take the best ones that I can, but I never knew how to get into photography. Have always wanted to be a pro photographer. Any advice on where to start, good schools to go to, anything anyone has to say, I am here to listen and learn whatever I can.

Thanks, Bugzy

In the words of many of my proffesors "read a book".
There are THOUSANDS of books on the topic(s) out there. Just search this site and you'll fine few hundred threads easily.
One of the most commonly recommended is Amazon.com: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition) (9780817463007): Bryan Peterson: Books.
There are also LOTS of aspects to photography, besides exposure, like composition, processing (film and/or digital), etc etc.
good Luck
