I have been a full time audio engineer for the past 8 years and I started doing live sound for the most part of it but I have been a studio engineer too for the last few years. I would have to say that you learn the basics of pretty much anything (like wrapping cable or learn the signalflow) by heart in 1-2 years if you do it at least 2-3 times a week, but it takes 5-30 years to become an expert depending on the field of choice.

For example micing instruments can be a work of art by itself and mastering audio (preparing recorded and mixed music to CD-ready product) is one of the most difficult fields to master in audio (no pun intended), because it is a lot about the small nuances that many normal people don't hear.

I also must warn you the main downside about being an audio engineer, so choose wisely.... Unlike listening music as a consumer or making music as a musician it is all about fun and love for music, the main job for an audio engineering is to listen to errors and what sounds like crap, which eventually leads to that you became a worse nitpick than audiophiles. I ended up listening to everything analytically (including tv broadcasts etc), and that takes the fun away from it all.
