I'm sorry if this disappoints, but there really isn't any real need/market for individuals to do venom extractions. Regulations on venom that is used for antivenom production, or anything that will be used for humans etc, are so strict that it is very prohibitive. If you're really interested I'd say you should study biology and focus on biochemistry, then many years down the road you might be able to put the information to use.

This is a very very very very long term goal. If/when you're ready for this sort of work it'll be something that finds you, not the other way around.
