To produce. Well if you’re looking for dummies you’ll work on and will try to “make them”, you should know how to manipulate people. Otherwise, save up some money, visit shows and offer your services to a band that doesn’t have a producer yet and help them rise. Get a lawyer.

A lot of ear training, but not only focused on scales, rhythms and chords as musicians do but timbre, panning, effects, arrangements, styles... as producers do. There's a website called soundgym quite helpful for developing this "producer ear"

music production is a broad category in itself. You want to produce your own music or other peoples? Music Theory is the first thing anybody should know about music. To help kick start your career perhaps a business or marketing certificate. Marketing yourself is just as important as knowing the music anymore.

I’m more interested in focusing on the production side - so likely other peoples. I am considering getting a business administration or marketing masters. Thanks for the advice

Even being on the production side you will still need a foundational understanding of music theory, But good news, its mostly all simple math, understanding chord structure and building scales. After that you will want to learn and practice your engineering skills. Buy a couple books on the topic an find a studio to intern at or work for as an second engineer is a good way to start.
