For many, yes that is the route.
I have a friend who is a B787 captain. His first job was flying mining supplies in northern Saskatchewan in a Cessna 172. And he was lucky, he knew a guy who knew a guy who was looking for a pilot at the exact time he happened to finish flight school and was available the next day. Some people work the ramp for while before ever setting foot inside an aircraft.
