First travel (a lot) on UA, you can only earn UA Lifetime miles traveling on UA / UX operated flights in a paid fare class (does not matter which except for Basic Economy) and credit those flights to UA MP.
For more on the details, see
How are "lifetime miles" calculated for MileagePlus? (especially the
wiki)
Be aware since this will take 10-15-20 years or more, what it means to be an MMer at that point may be very different than today (as it was different 10 years ago)
To learn more about why UA flyers travel, see
