Agony and low sec piracy combined would be the best of both worlds. One thing to add is don't care about losing ships,you gain alot by trying alot of the "stupid" fights.

Currently carebearing, but as the title suggests, I feel the Yarr growing in me. Any suggestions?
I have a fair amount of wealth, so ship losses are more or less trivial. I remember hearing about corps that taught this kinda thing.
I'm sorry to inform you that...
... PvP was abducted by six unidentified men wearing black trenchcoats and sunglasses, bound and gagged, and thrown into the trunk of a Ford Fairlane with the licence plates 'CCP-WTF'.
I own a '63 Fairlane and I love it.

Join Agony empire.
Appreciate the recommendation, but our corporate recruitment is currently closed. It will likely re-open in January or February.
That being said, lots of great new classes starting up after the holidays.
Just to be clear, we don't accept students into Agony like EVE University does. Rather, we teach classes w/out students having to leave their corp/alliance.

Don't lose ships, learn to be efficient, DO NOT join an academy(being treated like 2nd class corp members is rediculous).
Pretty broad swipe of the brush there... Academy pilots in Veto.A get treated just like full family member pilots in Veto. and I've learned a LOT since I've joined them. Maybe that's the exception, but it's the truth.
As to the OP, you just gotta get out there and do it. Having veteran pilots there to help you with your questions can help a LOT. Check out other ships, especially the ones you can't fly. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your enemy is vital. Look for the common fittings for those ships to see what you're likely to go up against so you can prepare for a fight before you even get your lock.

The poster above me got it right, know your ships.
If your fighting a Gallente, your gonna want to use explosive damage as they armor tank and use some pretty tough drones.
If your fighting Caldari, once you've broke their shield, they're as good as dead as they use shield tanks.
Examples like that, and say a Gallente is using railguns, get as close to him as possible, as Blasters are the ones doin damage at close range.

One thing I would suggest is to start a pvp character. I wouldn't want to mess your carebear's sec status up just incase you need to make yourself some iskies...

The quick way to learn PvP is to fly into low-null sec and start shooting.
The other way is to do your research before hand.
One of the most important things to understand in EVE is that, nearly, everything has a counter. If you want to PvP, you never know what you will face, and so you need to learn how to identify an enemy and his capabilities before you get into the fray.
First step is learning the guns. Which guns operate at what ranges. How is the damage dealt/taken calculated in the game? What makes a gun hit or miss? What makes a missile do more or less damage?
Once you learn those things, you also learn how to counter the same things by using speed, tanking, resists, disruptors, dampeners and so forth.
Furthermore your need to learn what you and your ship can handle. Easiest way to go there is either the test server, or by finding someone you think you can handle in high-sec, then pick a fight with them by stealing from wrecks or cans. Optionally, do kill missions or kill NPC pirates in belts, but PvE is never a good way to train PvP.
You'll soon find out, during a fight, what you need to improve. Cap runs out too fast? Shield/armor not repairing fast enough? Guns not hitting? Guns not doing damage?
After a fight, wether you win or lose, you have to take a moment and analyze it. Figure out what you did right and wrong, and also what the enemy might have done right and wrong.
Experience from try-and-fail is what molds people into good PvP pilots. Knowing what you can handle, when to bail out, and when to not engage at all are things you have to learn from experience.
