how do yall start i mean w/ no money and junk cause i dont like surveying so i just go and buy the resources but when u have like no money u cant do that so you gotta waste ur time gettin the resources and you have to do it over and over again, you can get like to a novice elite crafting profession like two times faster if u dont have to survey :-\ so i was just wondern how yall got started cause im thinkin bout gettin a crafter/medic jedi to c if its any easyier then a combat profession thx

It takes a lot of patience. Based on your post you may want to try and find a guild that will support you until you get on your feet. As far as I know the only other option is a lot of surveying.

over two years ago, I got my own resources and ran combat missions to fund both maintenance and grinding.
if you don't like getting resources, get money. if you don't have money, get resources.

You should have started out with about 75k(I started with 250 credits back in the day) credits. With that you can buy resourcesand master artisan or start some other type of crafting profession. You can also survey and whatnot. Try running delivery missions and survey missions.. I used to get 1k credits for running a delivery mission(ran the whole way). You want to sell some of what you make.. if you can master artisan you can make vehicles that sell for 10k plus, powerups also sell esspecially if you get a factory and run crates but that is probably to expensive.
A guild is a great help, also see if a veteran crafter would be willing to help you get on your feet a little bit, dont beg but ask if they can teach you stuff and help you with the general gaming stuff.
You should probably get some combat skills and maybe run some missions that pay you money and give you xp. I only told the above stuff for making money since you posted this on the artisan boards. There is money in almost any profession if you are patient and work at it.

Also maybe check the FAQ
It lists macro for you to survey and get surveyor 4 pretty easily
You only need low-quality metals to grind the other 3 trees
FAQ has macro for that as well
With help form guildmates or friends, even just a harvestor is good
With the metals form that you should be able to grind master artisan
You will be PuP King in no time (!!)
Even if you don't make much $$, master artisan makes a lot of useful stuff
So you can lower you costs by having one around, and people will like you

find an high concentration of a resource (70-80%)at around 1-2 km away from a starting city, go back to the city and pull survey missions for that kind resources from the artisan mission terminal, travel to the resource spot hit the survey button and get your 2k credits, rinse and repeat till you have enough money.
