Really depends on the area of study, but in general it usually involves interning/co-op with someone you respect or serve in support roles.

In general, the wisdom of the tribe can't be given or taken... it is simply what you personally learn from the situation, and apply to internal problem solving processes. However, there are decent courses on specialty areas that often have a competent Prof/TA willing to chat with you about a specific subject.

Note, most "experts" are usually just perpetually improving students that see the bigger picture.

Best of luck, =3
