I know I dont have the skills yet, but I want to know what to aim for, what to buy to get ready and skills needed to train in :) Well, you have to realize though, if you're gonna be doing this solo in low- or null-sec you Will get killed alot. So, L3 & L4 security missions might be a better place to start (also great way to get more PVE experience before going into dangerous territory) Ok sounds like a good idea... I do realise that I probably shouldn't go straight into this, it just seemed like a fun way to make money and am prepared to gain knowledge doing other things before hand, this is more a long term goal :) Thank you
I have had alot of success belt ratting in a stealth bomber, however you can be successful in frigates and especially assault frigates.
Something like this would be a good ship to aim for. This would be very effective at ratting in gallente lowsec.

as an aside:
These are the skills you will need to learn in order to survive in losec so practice these from hisec while you rat the belts there.
1. Directional Scanner - look up some tutorials on how to use this, it's your number 1 tool for survival.
2. Learn to read the map - look at the star map and plot a course into losec, then sort by ships killed in the last hour, pods destroyed in the last hour, number of pilots in space etc and learn to get a picture in your head of the areas you're planning to travel through. This is the number 1 tool for avoiding gate camps. Learn to plot courses around hotspots and look quiet sections of space with low npc kills for less competition on the rats.
3a. Learn to make safe spots - watch a tutorial on making safe spots between celestials, remember not to be too reliant on safe spots since you can be scanned down using probes. A moving target is a hard target.
3b. Set up your overview in a way that makes your life easier. A tab just for ships and probes is ideal for d-scanning, for example.
