How can I learn AI the right way?

I am currently taking courses on Coursera already and it was ok. I am practicing with quizzes and programming assignments. My goal is to become an AI/ML engineer, someone who understands both the theory and practical aspects, with hands-on experience building projects to solve real-world problems (and yes, I hope to earn a good salary too!). Just Coursera is not enough for these objectives. There are so many courses are there like DataCamp, LogicMojo AI/ML, Simplilearn, Greatlearning etc. Shall i go with some structured courses to learn AI or i should learn AI with self preparation. I would truly appreciate it if anyone could share some advice or mindset that could help me to learn AI so i could get my desired role in IT.
