Welcome to EvE, enjoy the rollercoaster
anyways, most honest and simple suggestion i can give is: join Eve University, it will give you a really important starting point for all, isk, pvp, industry, whatever, people there do the teaching for fun and social aspects.
larger and more complex answer:
pick a racial set of ships (minmatar, amarr, gallente, caldari), any one of them but just one, and work their associated skills and attributes
do all tutorials (seriously, the starting isk they give is pretty good)
do the circle agents
do the newbie epic arc (blood stained stars) make sure you a destroyer to start and near the end you should be able to afford a cruiser.
then you can ask yourself, do i want to become "friendly" with an empire faction? at the expense of being hated by the others? or i just want to roam all the universe at my leisure?.
at this point your choice, which is just mildly important, but not critical, will play at how you make your money and with your money play the game the way you like
isk to asplode in ships
isk to take over the market
isk to bribe people into doing nasty things
isk to declare war against others, griefing them to the ground
isk to fund your industry and research operations
isk to make crazy RP plots and storylines
the fun part is the journey and how you do it
