Learning OO goes through certain phases

1) What....the.....f**k?

2) Wow. Polymorphism is really cool.

3) All my programs have class hierarchies that are 20 deep.

4) Hang on. Isn't this just like C structs? What's the point of this overgeneralisation

5) Design Patterns, appropriate inheritance etc

You've really got to go through 1-4 before hitting 5, which is when you get it and you start being really productive. However you most certainly can get someone else to pay you while this happens...
