Try out exploration, it's relatively cheap in T1 frigs, and can net you some nice cash too. Also get's the adrenaline pumping, cause you can and will lose your ship when you venture out into.

This.

4. exploration in highsec can be done in pretty much any ship, but pays very little and should only be done for learning purposes. relic and data sites in lowsec and nullsec are more profitable and best done in a covert ops frigate or an interceptor. in addition to basic navigation and fitting skills, you will need probing, cloaking and hacking skills.

As far as exploration, if you are looking at just doing Data/Relic site hacking, the skills to train up don't take long at all (The various astrometrics, archaeology, and hacking), so I wouldn't be too worried about spreading your skills out. There are scannable combat sites as well, that can provide better items to sell on the market to make some money. So you could use both combat and scanning skills.

Note that Cloaking is pretty much required for survival in Low/Null, as well is a Microwarpdrive, which requires additional skills - none of which take long to learn.

A T1 frig with scanning bonus is about 500k (or free from tutorial), basic fitting is about 500k + 1M for a Cloaking Device.
You can make this back very quickly, but be prepared to loose your ship every now and then. Always have your finger on the cloak hotkey ;-).
