I would offer a different path. Start with a light drone. On Amazon there is Holy Stone drones. My choice to learn and have fun would be one around 140 grams. Learn to fly with one of these. Customer service with this company is legendary.
You can get somre grainy pictures with toy drones, but there is a ton of fun and friends galore out there with them. Once you have six months of flying you will have had enough experience to go to a Mavic. I have the Mavic Air and it is the perfect portable, high quality drone.
The little ones are fun to fly in tight quarters. They take a beating, but flying skills grow fast. Some tiny drones are even used inside. Grandkids will love it.
