I think you might find this article very interesting:

SO, YOU WANT TO BE AN AIRPLANE PILOT.....

Too bad he doesn't mention starting with glider training - even though he
says one should probably start with aircraft the most difficult to fly.
Nothing like training on a plane with no motor, one wheel, every takeoff
requiring formation flight (for aerotows), and no allowance for go-arounds
on landings!
