I'd recommend starting with Python as that's what most schools do as an introductory scripting language. If you read through properly, you will get a basic understanding of how programming should work.
Afterwards, I'd advice moving to Object-Oriented Programming. Java tends to be a good language to learn, an alternative is C#; although I don't suggest going into GUI programming with C# and sticking with only the console.
If you are looking to engineer, C++ is a must. I'd work on that one once you have a great understanding of either Java or C#. (Though, even though I use C#; I'd suggest Java.)
Python -> Java -> C++
You can then come back and start using C++ with Python.
