It isn't far off in a "how much stuff you have to learn" sense.
Just in a "think about it on your own" manner.
Just think about, come on here and talk about, start reading some blogs by professional physicists, e.t.c.
In a sense, once you have the basics down your knowledge will just keep growing and as new stuff is added it refreshes your perspective allowing you to understand stuff you couldn't originally.
Eventually you'll be the one explaining things, which will also further your understanding.
It's a fantastic path to take and if there is somebody you need to clarify questions with come here with any questions at all.
