Currently I would read and study whatever you can get your hands on about engineering in general as well as electrical topics. Investigate the career options in the field so you know what working in the industry is like. Build things like short wave radios, theramins, robots, etc. to get a working knowledge of how things work both as a unit and as individual components. Also buying old used electronic items and taking them apart or modifying them is fun. Learn some basic theory but I think most of that can wait.
Lol! I'm constantly taking something apart! And right now, I'm currently in the process of building a speaker cabinet with volume controls and stereo plugins. I posted a thread about it earlier. Making a speaker cabinet
Anyway. . . thanks for the advice! It's really appreciated!
