Well, if you feel you need to truly start from scratch (though if you have a degree, I'd be surprised if once you get going you find you really do but it is fair to say that no one will employ you to do electronics on that basis... ), you could do worse than building  a few hobby gadgets, either analogue (something with op amps FETs that sort of thing ) or digital (a quick Arduino sketch do something fun like a push button dice for the kids to play with)

The advantage of hobby things is that no-one is demanding a finished design by Friday or worrying you about the overspend.

If you have not already, master LT spice - its good, quick and free. And used by some  of us professionals too sometimes

In tandem with that try reverse engineering/ repairing some broken items of low value (actually even things like watching the BigClive YouTube videos can be quite good in this regard as a quick refresher of how to do it. .)

Let us now how you get on.
