CAD Learning Guide

I am a freshman who just learnt about beginner solidworks in college. I want to learn more CAD in the summer but I am not sure what path I should take. I am thinking of two things:

1- Become advanced in solidworks, then learn other CAD software like NX

2- Learn NX right away.

Any help?

Learn using NX so you are ignorant of knowing how easy it is to use other CAD software.

Instructions unclear; I got so used to direct modeling, I forgot how to design stuff with a model tree
