Have you considered logi? That's what I did when I first started because I had terrible gun game (still do  ). It can cost a bit, but if you're helping the team it can really pay out. A standard fit with equipment costs about 30k iirc, but can easily land you +250k minimum a game. It definitely pays out more than slaying at lower skill levels.
The biggest thing it helped me with it the flow of battle. As a logi you need to go where you're needed to be the most efficient (i.e. die less). I always tried to think about where my team was (so I could help and be protected), where the enemy was, and where everyone was going (do we need links somewhere? is this objective unprotected? what about the CRU? etc). Doing this keeps you alive and your team supported.

If you don't have ~20mil SP at this point you won't make it anywhere and with the money it take to buy enough boosters to get to that point you could easily purchase a better game.

As I was skilling up this character, all my SP went into vehicles. To make money I ran a mostly unskilled Dren scout and made enough to fund my ADSs (back when they were a mill a pop) and keep a positive KD. Granted I already knew a thing or two about gameplay, but those are only skills you can get through playing the game. Even now, I only ever run standard gear and still manage fine (even just yesterday I took on several proto suits).
Here's my advice to new players: for your first few million SP, run MLT fits with a repair tool and uplink. Follow your team around and learn how the vets play the game and join a decent corp where you have fun with the people you play with. After that, get your specialized suit and preferred weapon to ADV (and equipment if you're a Logi) and get your core skills up (shield, armor, fitting). To make a decently competent fit for pubs should only require probably 10m, if not less.
