Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Do you mean that you are about to head off to university to study EE, or that you want to self-study electronics? What is your end goal -- do you want to work as an EE or an Electronics Technician or just be knowledgeable in electronics as a hobby?

Are you still in high school (or whatever the equivalent is in your country), and you are wanting to be sure to prepare the best you can for heading off to university next year to study EE? Or have you graduated already and are starting university soon?

What math/physics/electronics classes have you had so far? What were your favorite classes?
 
Not enough information about you to usefully advise. Big difference if you are ≈18 and decisions imminent (in which case information about studies/knowledge so far also useful) or 14 in which case general strategy more to the point. Also important where you are, Himalayas or New York? - and what possibilities do you have for moving, what is your range realistically? Finance will also come into it.

Start taking broken things apart and try to find the fault. Preferably start at age 13 or thereabout.
Can you still do that with today's devices?

To the OP:

1. How old are you?

2. Which country are you located? (it doesn't sound like you come from a Western country)

3. Are you currently a student? If so, what kind of student (elementary, secondary, university)?

Some of them, yes. Not cell phones of course, but along the lines of an old desktop PC or an audio amplifier or a table lamp or...

How about an abacus or a slide rule? :wink:
