I can't speak for other cultures but my sister in law was a shaman in the Philippines. Over there you don't choose to be a shaman . You have to be born a breech birth baby (feet first ).
More than anything else they are herbalists , first aiders , midwives.
They also do a very long part time apprenticeship.
It's a trade , not a religion. My sister in law was a good practising catholic
