EVE Online ~~can seem like~~ an overwhelming place ~~when you first start the game~~, but EVE University is here to help ~~you~~.

EVE Online is an overwhelming place, but EVE University is here to help.

==== Activities / Careers ====

~~The first two things you need to do on your journey into EVE Online is find~~ an [[Careers|activity]] that you enjoy doing, ~~the second is to~~ find an activity that ~~pays~~ for ~~the first, that you don't mind doing~~. ~~If you are lucky they may be the same activity!~~

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

If you are not sure ~~what you like doing yet~~, ~~make sure to do~~ the [[Tutorial]] and [[Career_Agents|Career Agent]] missions ~~as these~~ will ~~give~~ you ~~a small taster for some of the~~ activities ~~available to you~~, ~~as well as a few useful~~ ships and modules. ~~It's also suggested to do~~ the [[The Blood-Stained Stars]] ~~epic arc, as its a good introduction to missioning and~~ will ~~give~~ you ~~several~~ million ~~ISK~~. EVE University ~~also~~ offers a [[Mentor Program]] that will pair you with ~~someone~~ experienced ~~in the activities you selected~~.

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 ISKand introduce you to doing missions for agents. EVE University offers a [[Mentor Program]] that will pair you with an experienced capsuleer.

When choosing that first activity make sure it is something you enjoy doing otherwise why play this game, it does not have to be the most efficient thing you can do, but if you don't like doing it you won't like playing EVE. The same applies to a lesser extent to your ISK making activity, generally it's not going to be the most enjoyable thing long term, and may end up feeling like a bit of a grind, but make sure it's something that you don't dislike. Another thing to consider is that EVE Online has lots of opportunities, so don't be afraid to jump from one activity to another. (That said, EVE online is huge so don't try to master everything at once, there will be plenty of time for that as you progress in the game.)
