I want to get into the startup industry, where do I start?

If I were you, I would try something like a Startup Weekend. They are a great opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs and potentially see interesting concepts. They are also a great way to experiment some of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship on a very short period of time.

I second the suggestion for StartupWeekend. You can come and go as you please, so if you're not digging the vibe, you can split. Plus, even if you stay for the entire time, you've only invested one single weekend.

If you don't want to wait for the event to hit your hometown again, attend one in a nearby city.

Also, I'd go become a member of a co-working office space and hang out there and mix and mingle. Startup folks and the nicest and most-helpful I've ever met.
