It's true that you need to hunt for a few days or GM a miner to really get set up, but while most skills don't return huge sums of money, if you're clever enough to come up with the right macros/combinations for skills you will actually make money as you macro. For instance, I made almost 200k profit from tailoring per time. It's not hard to get enough cloth to GM, especially with a low player count. And once you have one craft GMs, it snowballs. You always have enough money to pay for the next skill based on the last.
Listen, I started from 100 skill on my first day and was 4 mil and 4800 skill richer a few months later.
If you don't want to be a rockstar, don't play like one. Some people took over a year to GM all their skills by doing it slowly and methodically (see Theo). Others transfered in with some skill and GMed everything, while making money (see Galdor).
As John Lennon once said, "it's easy if you try, Dick."
