Find an [[Careers|activity]] that you enjoy doing. If you can't afford it, find a second activity that will pay for it.

If you are not sure, start with the [[Tutorial]] and [[Career_Agents|Career Agent]] missions. Career Agent missions will introduce you to many different activities, ships and modules. After you are done with the Career Agents try doing the [[The Blood-Stained Stars]] Epic Arc. It will earn you 15 million ISK and introduce you to doing missions for agents. EVE University offers a [[Mentor Program]] that will pair you with an experienced capsuleer.

Choose an activity you enjoy rather then an activity which earns you the most ISK. EVE Online has a lot of activities. Don't be afraid to do something else when the opportunity presents itself. That said, EVE online is huge so don't try to master everything at once. Take one step at a time.

Think about what you want to do in the long run. Do you enjoy doing missions? Take a look at [[Incursions]], they use similar skills, pay well and are a group activity. If you like doing industry you could expand into [[T2]] [[Invention]] and Production. Exploration could lead you to living in [[W-Space]]. There are lots of possibilities out there.

If you are doing an activity you like, don't listen to those that criticize your ISK/h efficiency. The amount of ISK you earn will increase over time as your skills improve. Don't be in a rush to do everything! Take it step by step. You will be tempted to use [[Skill_trading#Skill_Injectors|Skill Injectors]] or to buy [[Accounts#PLEX|Plex]] to get ahead. Don't. Part of the fun is learning and making your own ISK. By buying expensive items you deny yourself the opportunity to learn more about the enormous world of EVE Online.
