I can use mine for:
1. Advanced recon (good to get decent speed skills, MWD at least on both alts). I prefer not to have to wait for a newbie ship to get where I need it to look around, so I use MWD'd frigates for this.
2. Distant region market price checks. Doesn't require any training - just prepositioning your alts in nexus points between two regions and bopping back and forth across the border to check 2-3 different region prices your main can't get to very quickly.
3. Alternate roleplay, as my alt characters have distinct personalities, and sometimes I just want to 'get away' from the corp, my connections, my factories, etc, for a little while. Best if you have a decently trained alt, but can be fun to experience that 'wet behind the ears' period again if you get nostalgic.
4. Surreptitious transfer of goods. Being followed? Know a bottleneck that's set in front of you watching your main? Set up a deep space (can) transfer, or dock and leave an escrow for your alt, switch to the alt and collect the goods and sneak past your hunters. Doesn't work with some groups that just shoot -everyone- and ask questions later.
5. Distant market purchases. Like the market checks, but some things (like blueprints, or good mineral deals), can't be found in all regions. Transfer isk to your alt and have him snatch it up for your main.
6. Multiple R&D projects. Takes a lotta training (science 5) and some time working on agent missions with the alt, but you can have an R&D project going for each of your 3 characters simultaneously.
7. Revenge/Carefree Combat. Train your alt with missles (as pointed out before) and a good missile frigate, and go gunning for thieves/pests in your system, shrugging off the se-status hit and loss of the gear if you really -really- just want to ram a few cruises down the other guy's throat.
8. Play the 'other side'. If your sec status keeps you out of Empire space, your alt can be the go between. Likewise, if you want to dabble in piracy and shady-side roleplay while keeping your main squeaky clean, use the alt to go on your piracy sprees.
9. Moles. Tough to do with new alts, but after being around for awhile, and maybe filtering through two or three corps, you can use an alt to join a corp and see how they operate from the inside. Lotta wary corps out there, but this is still imminently possible with most corps. Corp thievery is also possible using this method, though not recommended if you want to win any popularity contests or ever want to be trusted again. Some people are also fairly talented at figuring out who a mole's the alt of and if they find out you -are- a mole, can kick you, or even worse, feed you misinformation to get your main and allies in trouble.
10. Ninja mining 0.0. High gain, low stakes frigate or even cruiser ninja mining with your alt can bring in some isk or rare minerals without forcing your main to set up long term operations beyond the fringes of civilized space.
11. Anti-racial profiling. Slip goods etc., past a few of the 'terrorist' groups gunning for specific races if you have to do business past their system. Just have your alt of a race representing the 'outraged party'. Case in point, in Luminaire, there's a Caldari corp that likes to target Gallente every now and then, attacking all they think they can take as part of their RP'ing the friction between the two empires. Similar case can be made for avoiding (somewhat) Minmatar 'freedom fighters' that target Amarrian ships.
I'm sure there's more uses for alts, these are just a few off the top of my head.
