What cuda means is, the very first ship you need to train is the Rifter, and get all your tackling skills trained as well(micro-warp drive, warp scrambler, engine overdrivers). This will make you usefull to the PvP crowd the fastest, since nobody usually wants to fly frigates in gangs. Flying this makeshift interceptor will get you front-line PvP training and while you're doing it you can be training for cruisers, that way you don't waste more expensive ships while you learn the ropes. Also for moneymaking you'll want to get a Raven in your skill plan so you can go out to 0.0 space and make money's raping NPC pirates (rats).
