LevFin to M&A to PE to MBA to VC?

Thoughts on the following plan I laid out for myself in college? 

LevFin (1yr) to M&A (1yr) to PE (2yrs) to MBA (2yrs) to VC (career)?

The goal is to end up in VC but I wanted to start out in Levfin first (which I'm currently a first-year levfin analyst - 5 months into the job) to really learn as much as I could about debt in a year, then lateral to M&A to get some deal experience in a year, all the while recruiting off-cycle for PE. PE I'm thinking is great to learn about investing and operating a business in 2 years. After PE, I plan on going to Business school to get my MBA (H/S/W/C). From there, onto VC which I plan to make a long-term career out of.

Good plan or dumb asf? My next step would be jumping into an M&A shop once I hit the 1 yr mark at my current bank.
