If you want to be a hacker, learn like a hacker. Build something you have no idea how to build, then when it sucks figure out why and either rebuild it or go find a new project that's more interesting/challenging.

At some point you'll be able to get a job helping people who haven't been building stuff as long as you to avoid mistakes you've already made.
