I actually have a similar problem to be honest.
I brought the game on April 4th 2009, since then I wanted to do PvP, so using some advice from the default Corporation I started leveling my ship skills and weapon skills to build upto a Maller / Omen.
However ISK was hard to come by, and then I was advised to go mining. So I trained up 'support' skills so I can get mining drones and lasers on the Omen, which fares well. However this playstyle doesn't appeal to me all the time only when I am in a lazy mood.
Along with the corporation skills for my project New Eden Recruitment Agency. I am now almost after 2 weeks, approacing the 750k SkillPoint mark.
Meaning in the next 2 weeks (before I reach the 1.5mill mark) I need to decide what I want to do for the rest of my eve career, as the insanely long queue times I will face mean if I want to be successful at something and even the slightest chance of competiting against others in whatever field I choose I need to be specialised or I might as well not bother.

What would be nice is if it was changed slightly for ALL characters.
50k - 1mil = 100% bonus
1mil - 2mil = 75% bonus
2mil - 3mil = 50% bonus
4mil - 5mil = 25% bonus
5mil + = 0% bonus
This would allow new characters / players to dabble in all fields to a degree, without punishing them too much for wrong choices at the start, and would allow them to adapt months/years down the line without using up months of playtime to just try something else.

On top of that CCP could offer a PLEX like system but for implants, for a monthly subscription equivilent fee people can buy an implant that fits in slot X which increases learning time for 30days by 100%
Now I know what alot of you will say, how is it fair players are now able to buy ways to speed up training, we didn't have it when I started.. well the answer is the same as PLEX, you didn't have that opportunity to get free playtime for ingame currency either?
Or how is it fair that people can buy ways to increase their training speed, I can't afford it, it isn't fair. well it be the same system as plex, you beable to buy them ingame for ISK also so same as PLEX.
Also whats the difference between someone buying a 2year old character for like 7.5billion ISK (at current PLEX rates is 23months worth of plex) and someone buying a 100% training time implant for months on end?
None in my opinion, just one gets a new character with a name they dont like INSTANTLY, and the other keeps the name they like, and spend 12months instead of 23months to catch up)

Hopefully all of that made sense
