The worst thing you can do is go to university - 'the only place you cannot study' (Moten/Harney The Undercommons). One must be prepared to confront one's own ideology and individuation which both run counter to the university structure. For me, philosophy was a calling and my first interest in it I can remember was at nine. Truth is a whole in knowledge and paradoxes are what are to be sustained not resolved. Today, universities still teach that Hegel invented thesis/antithesis/synthesis - he did not and nowhere did he write this. His work undermines this very concept. Start with your own curiosity and move from there. Of course, if you want a job, go to university.
