If you want to make shit and tinker, I'd recommend learning how to use a milling machine, metal lathes, all the hand tools, most power tools, and teach yourself how to weld. Learning 3D printing, CAD and operating a CNC mill/lathe is also a bonus. If you are skilled at this general sort of industrial work, you could get a job as a machinist, welder, or some other blue collar manufacturing job. Granted, you aren't going to invent shit. Or, you can get a high paying job, and build a machine shop in your basement and make shit. Or do what 90% of inventors do, which is to die from alcoholism after declaring bankruptcy. Avoid making tinkering your job if at all possible.
Depending on how pozzed your college is, the robotics course may/may not be useful. Math and Physics are cool to have but any retard that can count can use machine tools with enough practice. It all boils down to shop access and practice with your tools.
and fyi, your question is cringe. you don't start out wanting to be a insane science person, you start out as a normal person (or an autist) and let the science consume you in an endless sea of unmedicated schizophrenia and severe autism. you never chase the science, the science chase you. it will eat up your social life. you will never escape, because the shit you built can always be built BETTER. in order to fix a single part on a machine I maintain, I spend an obscene amount of time and effort into secondary projects to get the primary project to work. Sane people don't do this. if you let the shop air poison your brain, you will slowly start hallucinating numbers, develop a hatred towards engineers and design people, call everything that breaks chinesium shit, and you will have a severe mental breakdown over why your precision machined parts don't fucking fit each other. Don't start.
