Lowsec factional warfare really is the best place to start. RvB has some damn good pvpers, but their getup is too "honorable". FW you see it all. Blobs, camps, soloists, bait ships, pirates, food(e-uni), and all manner of unorthodox and dishonorable tactics. You get pissed off a lot, but you make some money on the side so you run missions less, and the real world experience is invaluable.

Faction warfare makes good isk and has some great corps who will be happy to teach you.
For low sec small gang /solo pvp there are some really excellant corps and individuals who are more than happy to teach new people that are willing to learn. I don't do that myself but i know quite a few people that specialise in piracy and would be happy to point you in their direction (mail me in game).
Oddly the easiest way to get into PVP is null sec as the player skills required for fleet warfare are minimal. Most of the PVP centric null sec alliances have many small gang roams and many people happy to teach. Personally i have found null sec to be the perfect teaching ground and i am learning fast from both the large scale fleets as well as the small gang roams. I am a slow learner so i am holding off from solo stuff at the moment :).
Black Legion, 401k, Pandemic Legion, Rooks and Kings are all well known pvpcentric null alliances and most are easier to join than people think.
It is also cheaper than people think. fast t1 tackle frigates are always useful and the rupture is a cheap and powerful cruiser that most fleets are happy to have along. Just do some research and ask people in game as a newbro myself i am always happy to reply to mails to help people move away from the duller highsec stuff and into the more fun ship blowing up stuff.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

You sound like you might be a good fit in our alliance. We have a presence in High/Low/Null. We are large enough that there are generally people active in all time zones. For pvp we range from casual small scale roams, keeping the gates on our Sov systems, larger doctrine style fleet fights, and even CTA's/cap fights. Ships run the spectrum as well. Some fly T1 1 frigs, others T2/T3 ships. We also have a lot of members who like to PvE together to support their PvP habits. Some run L4s, sites, or null sec anoms while others like to mine/produce/trade.

Send me a message in game if you have any questions. Or simply apply to our Academy corp if interested.

I still endorse Piracy first...but also consider flying Interdictors in a null sec alliance.

It's hard to over-state the importance and universal use that Interdictors see in null sec. Virtually no fleet undocks without at least a couple Dictors in tow. Regardless of what the main body is flying- armor, shield, missile, turret, etc- (except for Blops), they won't be going anywhere without Dictors.

Most null alliances will either hand out Dictors, or at least reimburse the pilot at or near 100%. It can literally be free to fly Dictors. It's hard to beat that sort of price. Fully fitted, Dictors aren't very expensive anyway.

The beauty is that they are only a few skills from destroyers, a ship that is also awesome for small scale PvP. There is literally no downside to making Dictors your short term goal.
