25 y/o looking to enter commodities (more on the relationship / commercial side) — how do people actually get in?

I’m 25 years old and interested in building a career in the commodities space. I’m not primarily aiming for a quant / trading-heavy role, but more for the relationship-driven side — things like commercial roles, client coverage, origination, sales, or generally being the interface between producers, traders, and buyers. My main questions are: How do people realistically get into the commodity industry from the outside? Is a university degree strongly recommended, and if so, which fields are actually useful? (Economics, finance, engineering, logistics, something else?) Or is this one of those industries where internships, on-the-ground experience, and networks matter more than formal education? Are there typical entry-level roles that make sense as a first step? I’d be very interested in hearing from people who already work in commodities — especially on what mattered most in your own path (education, internships, referrals, geography, etc.). Not looking for a “perfect formula”, just trying to understand what the realistic paths into the industry look like. Thanks a lot in advance.
