Mining is boring and I usually mine when I get home from work before bed if I don't feel like doing anything else. I like flying into a low sec or WH in a Prospect and doing some mining that is more dangerous but it pays a little more.
FW can be very profitable and with the right group and in the right system you are probably fairly safe from getting popped all the time, again research is the key. FW has it's place and in my opinion Low sec is where the action is.
High sec is great for doing things when you're young but it often traps people by making them adverse to ship loss. YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE SHIPS AND PODS. Don't let that scare you, even as a new pilot good corps will help you and Sindel's Angel Project can be a resource if you like to play solo like I do.
High sec (HS) activities include low grade asteroid and ice mining, low grade planetary interactions (PI), misison running, low end exploration and industry but low sec and null are more profitable in almost every case. High sec just makes you FEEL safer because of a few mechanics that make it harder to engage pilots.
Low sec (LS)is good for all the things listed above but the danger is much higher. The profits are better but you will have to be more vigilant and have higher skills and better ships to do the same thing as in high sec. The rocks are better, the PI is better, the rats are better and the loot from the rats and explorations is better.
Null sec (null) is difficult to get into if you are solo but with a good null sec corp it can be very fun and most time as "safe" as high sec due to the intel channels and vast emptiness. Null sec profits from NPE types stuff is better than low but again more dagerous if you aren't playing smart or properly fitted.
Worm holes (WH) are the last part of space and by far the most dangerous and profitable. Worm holes offer all the things that the other space offers. The rats are much more difficult but the loot is better, the asteroids are better and PI is better but there is no local chat so you won't be able to see who is in the system with you. They could be cloaked 3,000 meters away watching you mine and you wouldn't know it. Also WHs do not have a jump gates connecting them to anything, you must have a scanner with probes to find a WH and after a certain amount of time or ships passes then the WH collapses and you will have to find another that will lead you to a different WH, HS, LS or null.
Sorry for the wall but I hope it helps. Red vs Blue, Brave and EVE Uni are all good places to start, don't be afraid to ask or to try. Don't worry about losing ships or pods and do what you like and if you don't like it, try something else. You never know what kind of activity you will enjoy.
