If you play EVE, try not to follow my example and fall into the trap of only staying in secure space and running missions. I missed a lot of what is fun about the game. Your best bet is to spend the first 4-6 weeks learning how to fly a specific ship reasonably well and then joining a corporation right away. The best way to experience everything is to be in a group of people with diverse backgrounds, as in real life. Trying to be a jack of all trades will just delay the time when you will actually be good at something.
