How is it done? Could a simple human being like me possibly get into it?
If you wanted to start a recovery lab? Not without a lot of capital. You have to examine the drive and determine what's wrong with it and if necessary, open the drive and replace parts (read/write heads, drive electronics, etc) and/or clean it if for some reason it was dumped in water or something.
If you just want to do recovery from working drives that corrupted data or something there's plenty of software that you can use and that's easier.

I would like to do both actually...
Now is there software that is for commercial use that might cost somewhere in 3-4 digits?
Thanks
It's expensive for a few reasons.
1) the capital you have to invest in equipment.
2) It's unbelievably bloody time consuming and often meticulous work. Time is a valuable commodity, and as you have to pay the bills you have to bill for your time.
3) The value of the data and the demand for the service. Corporations spend 100's of thousands of dollars developing the data. It's worth it to them to pay a few thousand for recovery.
4) Any parts that are required to rebuild the dead drive, as necessary.
For the record, my affiliates and I offer data recovery. The price starts at $300 for basic recovery up to almost $4000 if the clean room and more advanced techniques and equipment are needed. If you have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of data, it's well worth it.

if you need to open up a hard drive, the bathroom is the best place to do it.
run your shower really hot for a while so the air gets really damp. this will bring all of the dirt molecules to the ground. then as its still damp, go along with your buisness. also, use those doctors gloves as to not get the oils from your hands on anything.

Rule number one that will save you from having to go get data recovery: Always keep a at least one extra copy on of whatever data you want on a separate hard drive or flash drive.
