The main issue with Eve as a noob is the waiting, not so much the time sink. Despite what anyone tells you (and believe me they'll tell you), It'll be a few months before you're useful for very much or able to make yourself much money (unless you have rl heeb skills that transfer well to space jewry and convince Kwark to put up capital for you).
Eve is a really fucking complicated game. Use the time before you can fly anything worth flying to get very comfortable with the interface, fool around with missions and read as much as you possibly can about the game and the often convoluted shit going on in it. That way, when you've got an idea as to what you like to do in Eve, you'll know how to go about getting into that.
Regardless of what you do, you have to get used to the idea of only being able to do a very narrow scope of things with each character. Skillsets for different pursuits are simply too divergent for you to be able to have a character that can do very many things optimally. My main is a year and a bit old and is still only marginally decent in his field (subcap, turret pvp piloting).
Ask questions in SCBW and ignore anything Kizu says. Good luck.

How did I miss reading this. Kizu's advice is pretty much the best you can get. You're getting information from the guy that triple cross trained with just over a year of skills and has some how obtained Looting VI. Spend a week or so using your own initiative to look up information on eve (its not hard) and you'll be fine (and probably know more than 90% of eve pilots).
