Have you started flying yet? It's fine to have a goal of flying jets and other complex aircraft, but the building skills you'll need aren't taught by those models.

Much of the path you take depends on the types of models that you'll eventually want to fly. Are they kits? Are they ARFs? ARFs won't teach you anything about kits, and kits require different skills than ARFs.

There are some things that will be universal, such as the glues you'll use and many of the tools. If space is an issue, build some small Guillows models just to learn about the glues and build some skills with a knife. If space is not an issue, find yourself a trainer, ARF or kit. A trainer kit will teach you to build. Good ones have very detailed instructions and plans, full of tips and how-to type suggestions.
