If you learn well in a self directed "hands on" fashion, https://cryptopals.com/ is a good place to start. (Co-created by the person you're responding to)
Disclaimer: I have zero professional crypto experience.
That said, my hypothetical crypto curriculum looks like this:
1. Cryptopals challenges as a guide to what to learn and pay attention to (which I suspect tptacek would probably recommend as well since he had a hand in making it :P)
2. Serious Cryptography as an introduction to core concepts
3. Applied Cryptography for encyclopedic reference
