Hulk Mining Character, Random Skills

I trained up the skills for the Pilgrim but haven't used it. I do everything retarded in this game. I've been actually playing the game the last few days, doing some assorted missions for Theology Council and for the Carthan Conglomerate. I did some missions with them yesterday, just grinding up their standing but in order to do research for them, I'd need a lot of training time. Basically, everything I'm doing is backward. I bought a Pilgrim and Apocalypse but don't really have great skills for Apocalypse. Been training some gun skills the last few days and I would eventually want to be able to use Mega Pulse Laser 2 but that is like a month of training time.

I've been looking on the eveboards for a character and was originally going to buy a Caldari pve/pvp character but I decided to buy a Hulk character. He has just under 5 million sp and I should have him today. I got a decent deal on him and the guy sold me his Hulk as well. I hope to start mining tonight and see if I like it at all. I was going to put the new character on my account but I decided to buy a new account through the buddy program. For the extra five dollars, I should be able to give the mining character almost 3 million sp in the 51 days of game time I get. Plus, I've been credited the free month of game time so my main account has more than 80 days on it and the secondary account has 51 days. I'm going to see how much I like the mining and if I don't like it, I can always sell the second character for some kind of profit, while training essential skills to get him into an Orca. My plan with my main is:

Small Pulse Laser Specialization 1-3 (finished)
Motion Prediction 4 (just finished)
Controlled Bursts 4
Small Pulse Laser Specialization 4
Medium Pulse Laser Specialization 1-2


From this point, I can get those engineering skills I so badly need or go into the Medium Pulse Laser Specialization to 4, or Large Energy Turrets, which I'm probably going to get first. So many skills to train, so little time.

Mining Character Plan:

This guy has Mining Drones to level 5 but only has Drones 3. My immediate plans with him are:

Drones 5
Drone Interfacing 4
Electronics 5
Engineering 5

This is all depending upon how this character plays. Drones are a definite but we'll see how badly his cap does and if so, get the electronic skills first. Lets see how much I like mining and how much of this can be done afk. I was also thinking of taking this character along the industry root, getting the essential skills for building ships or maybe even the datacore route with science, grouping him with the main to do level threes to skill up quickly. These are all possibilities.
