as a person with a real job and a family, i get about ten or twelve hours of gameplay a week. i *averaged* five 10/10s a week, not counting other stuff, and between bounties and loot was bringing in easily a bill a week, with my biggest week being close to 12b thanks to some nice drops. you only need one decent drop out of five final station drops to make that amount of isk. it's timing and efficiency, not just mining for 12 hours at a time or something. plus, it's interesting, since there's a variety of sites you can run, plus relic/data sites.
on the contrary, at 30m per tick or so, carrier ratting brings in 1b in ten hours of gameplay, but i actually have to pay attention the entire time, because i can't just fly something small and fast and get in and out quickly. there's a hard limit on that earning potential since faction spawns are few and far between and rarely drop anything good (far less chance than those anoms), you've got campers to worry about since you can't hide in an unwarpable spot like you can for sites, you're paying for space most of the time or required to PVP a certain amount (when you have an hour or two at a time, it's hard to get on fleets that might sit around for an hour just to form up), and you need to have a really well-trained character to be able to do it, or a ton of isk to buy said character. there's no money to be made flying a bad ship with bad mods running anoms.
syndicate isn't WHs when it comes to making isk. a month-old pilot can easily make enough to plex an account if they've got half a brain, though, running relic/data sites and goofing around. so what's the problem? that to me sounds pretty good.
if you buff an area so newbies can do well at it, it's just going to encourage the old people to come in and do even better at it. this is an MMO - organization that comes with long-standing knowledge of the game generally does better than a bunch of unaffiliated scrubs. look at fw. and before someone says hero, they're the exception that proves the rule.
i make spreadsheets for pretty cheap. contact me for more info.
