Yay! Another Providence pilot. Or at least.. another in about three weeks or so. 
At any rate, can't have enough of us flying the sexiest ship in EVE.
On a more serious note however, Zaryte. You'll find (and have found out already) that you will receive very little sympathy on the forums here. In general the EVE community is a lot friendlier than any other community in my opinion. Yet, there's one golden rule the community expects everyone to be: BE INFORMED. If you want to play in a sandbox, you have to know what goes on in the sandbox. Don't complain your freighter going poof during a Burn Jita. The Goons are nice enough to warn everyone here about it weeks before they will attack, so those not willing to risk their freighters, will simply avoid the area.
You do have a point somewhat in that if you're new, you have to get used to the massive amount of information. But what I don't understand is this:
You are in a corp N-Lightning that has 27 members (as of this moment). Any decent CEO or officer will at some point mention that these changes were going to come in Odyssey. Either through in-game mail to new members, or through the Message of the Day in your corp channel. It's not your CEO's fault for not doing it, you can't put the blame on him, but if you at least would have mentioned your plan in skilling up for the Providence, then some corp-members would have told you about the upcoming change.
The more you get yourself involved, the more people will help you out in providing information you did not know yet. All of this could have been avoided if you were more active within this community in the beginning. Visit the forums, read the dev blogs, attend ISD's seminars, and talk frequently in your corps channel. As a matter of fact, if you would have joined the in-game help channel (so just by your standards that the forums etc. are only optional), then you would have seen the message about it as I know the ISD's had it mentioned in their Message of the Day of the help channel for several months.
All that is left now is to just accept what happened. CCP won't refund you your skillpoints you feel you wasted in Amarr Industrial IV and V. Because with the Amarr Industrial to V, it will give you access to the best of the best industrial ships have to offer: the Deep Space Transport and Blockade Runner. Just learn the Transport Ships skill to I and you'll be able to fly both. Not really wasted at all huh?
As for the Providence, just skill up on the Advanced Spaceship Command to V. Just keep at it. Only three weeks to go. Chop chop.
