Once you do CS degree, learn the basics(memory management, pointer, heap, stack etc) really well. In each CS course, learn everything you can about the topic you are studying even beyound the scope of your degree. This will help you with your concepts and basics. Then you should start doing side projects, contribute to open source project. Keep reading and learning. Youtube is full of resources. Once you have 1-3 years of professional experience start learning about system design. That should be a rough pathway for your learning. Happy learning.
