Always learn how to drive in a manual clutch vehicle. Look for a driving school that offers that option, and take it.
Even if you only ever drive automatic afterwards, it teaches you about how the car and engine behave under different conditions you just don't get with an automatic because the computer will cover for the edge cases, and experiencing those conditions teaches those lessons much better than just reading about them.
And should you end up with a manual transmission car after years of driving automatic, you still will know what to do and how to handle the transmission and engine. Or at least the basics for it, unlike someone who drove automatic and learned on an automatic car and thus might just wreck the engine or transmission due to sheer inexperience. Because they know how to drive already and will drive as if the car was an automatic without thinking about it.
