Learn about electronics.  Don't take many short cuts.\n\nThen go to college and learn electrical engineering.  That is the easiest way due to the resources it takes to learn it.  You will learn about software, circuits, materials (this is very important), design, and all the other things that go along with it.  You will also be able to try things out in a lab enviornment where a lot of the good learning can happen.  I am an electrical engineer who has gotten to do the design.  If your interested then go for it.
