There are other domains also, for example Incident Response Team, Blue team, Security Audits, IT Security Management, Security laws and many more. In order to start practicing hacking, you should first know the concepts! You should understand how the world is dealing with cyber threats. HACKING is not the only “coolest” thing here.
