I would start with AE and then master it. A lot of Motion Design can be done with AE only. And most 3D things are finished in AE so you will need to learn that anyway. When you have really got AE down (give yourself six months) start on a 3D program.
You can do the Lynda thing - they have tons of AE training. It's not even that expensive to pay for but I guess you can get torrents if you want.
C4D is the choice of the Motion Design community but it is kind of pricey. You can get the same quality of 3D with Blender and it is free. There are other 3D options but that is another discussion. Give yourself six months to get competent with 3D as well, if not more.
As technosoul says 'it's a long road' and it is. Know this going in. You are not going to be doing great Motion Design in a month or two. There is far to much to learn.
