Hey guys, as a newish miner, i have found that its widely accepted that mining is not as good of money as ratting or running missions, like not even close. I was wondering has acknowledged this and/or are working on it. If the ore prices stay really low i don't see why i should continue training mining. Thoughts anyone?

Some people enjoy mining.
This is a sandbox, find what you enjoy, and train for that

When it comes to money making, mining isn't even in the running. Don't do it if you don't enjoy it.

Hi ether you asked wrong or you have been given wrong answer
Oki here what I think about
Retriever shud do 2-2,5 mil hig sec mining
Hulk normal strips no mind link implant no bonuses other than from ship itself and skiling going with it 5 mil per hour
and that is in high sec normal ore you see around ya , well you can go t2 strip miners t2 mining cristal put implant get fleet boosted by orca skill for perfect refining do misions there to make it no tax easy 10 mil per hour , continue that by using ores for production it goes more and it is demanding more .
as for rating , wooot wooot ?
wich rats high sec thay give so little it is not worth weisting drone time to kill em not mentioning ammo , any low sec crap also , nul 350 - 750 k and more rare 1.2 1.4 1.8 mil bounty rats , only reason ppl do santctums and heavens is biger concentration of high bounty npc.
Missions hmmm retriver evens lvl 3 missions almoust hulk covers em totaly .
keep in mind if retry cargo riged and t2 cristal easy 4 mil hour at least .
well Lvl 4 yup still money maker but demands at least 3 month to step ther e
not point to do em for achivment or to brag around
but to farm em do em fast in my book 4 month skiling to be safe .
Hope satisfayed from response sory if dont thats what I think .

Just do what you like as far as mining with 3 maxed miners in a fleet boosted by a maxed rorqual make from 60-150 mill/hr depending on ore mined in an upgraded 0.0 system

It is largely a low-profit pursuit because there are lots of people who macro-mine. CCP regularly tries to do stuff about macro-miners and they're sometimes effective. Until there is something more profitable to automate, or automating becomes much more difficult, mining will be a low-profit business.
If you want a reason to keep mining, then I'd say that it's fun to do when you can't pay much attention to the game. For example, I mine on one character while missioning on another character.
If you don't enjoy mining though, do something different.

Yes with three accounts, you can make 3 times the money! Imagine that. But then your precious arkonor is depleted, what then? Hint: It doesn't respawn until you clear the belt (or wait 72 hours), which means hours and hours of mining low-end ores. With three accounts and less training than a perfect hulk + rorqual boosts you can blitz sanctums/havens/hubs/belts and blow that money making out of the water. 3 accounts working over a sanctum would be pretty ridiculous, you'd earn an hour's worth of mining in 10 minutes.

Mining doesn't even come close to competing with the alternatives. If in hi-sec, level 4's will do about 3 times more money than a perfect hulk could, and with less total SPs. If in 0.0, sanctums beat out even arkonor. If in WH, the npc salvage trumps the mining potential.
Mining is a huge SP investment for very little in return. Unless you love mining or have some other activity planned while you mine (A great time to run PI for example, or trading at the hubs), don't bother.

my mining calculator can be useful to you in determine your maximum profit per hour based on current prices (you just need to insert a few things to customize it to your skills).
