Hitman i was the same as you, 1 tip i will give you is play with CMS i.e Wordpress, drupal, joomla.
Learn by playing and teaching your self, you've got hosting so have a play and set some up on subdomains. As soon as you get used to knowing the usual names like MySql, local host , htaccess, mod rewrite and many more you will find you will know alot more than you think. I know its basic things but you dont need to be able to code or design to get some where as a webmaster, you can modify exciting templates to look like unique designs and everything. Once you start you'll learn the harder stuff.
I would actually recommend getting an old PHPbb2 forum script and get a bunch of mods, installing mod the old way and paying attention to the code while doing it will get you on the right tracking providing your a fast learner.
And as dvduval said the people you meet along the way will be the people that help you make it to the next level, i couldnt have done what i have with out people helping me along the way.
