I am training to be a nullsec miner who can fly a Rorqual and fight off rats...to that end I trained a lot of my core skills up and now I am at an impasse...my next logical step would be to get Exhumers (22 days or so)...and I want to know if there are any skills I should improve before this? skills that are more important for mining and survival since I feel that exhumers give only a 10% boost and there are some skills that increase survivability by 100%? Also, is it better to cross train this char with a Hauler or Manufacturing skillset?

This is my character info from eve board : http://eveboard.com/pilot/Amara_Cursori

Thank you in advance for all your help

You don't mine when there are rats around P
My toughts on the subject is that you should always use a ship with maximum mining yield and have someone to blast the rats away when they show up. Some faction / offiser fittings are good if you want to tank rats also but the best thing is just to kill them. So max yield whit minimal tank would be my choice.

This would mean that you should train tech 2 harvesters and crystals next and max up mining upgrades and fitting skills so you can get more mining upgrades into you exhummer.

When you think about manufacturing just train the production effiency to 5 and to do more jonbs you need advanced mass production thats it basicly to do tech one stuff. But before production effiency 5 don't even think about manufacturing. After that start with something easy like tech one ships and then work your way to something more complex. Complex also means you need more skils.

After centuries of debating and justifying... Break Cloaks tm

You not going to kill much with those drone skills. You need to be able to field a full flight of T2 drones.
