If you've been mining to make money, then you've been doing it wrong, friend. Run missions, get out into 0.0, even run FW Missions (ISK/hour for these are crazy).
Haven't mined ingame since ~2005.
New players can very quickly specialize and be as good as a 10 year old pilot in certain aspects of the game, if they look carefully at what they want to do ingame. If you want to get out and into these huge battles, then specializing into something like Interdictors is a very quick and easy path, and you'll be useful (very often the most useful person) in every single nullsec fleet in the game. When you are there, you can focus on training up other stuff (Hictors, Armor Hacs, Battleships) whilst still being useful in an Interdictor.
Getting into a corp is a must though. EVE University is great for teaching people to play the game, and then letting you spread your wings once you are done or feel ready. Brave Newbies are also very good at what they do.
