When I wrote "starting out" I really mean it...
What I'm hoping to shoot for is a musician or dancer, with TKA skills so I wont be helpless in fights, and get some medic/doctor skills so I can heal. It seems like a decent combination for me. I think a Zabrak might be cool for all that. I really want to be majoring in the whole entertainment business, its just I don't know how thats all going to work. All the TKA and med skills, well, thats self-explanatory...
Anyone think they might offer this poor newb some help?

You could do Master Dancer or Musician, Master TK, and 4-4-0-3 in Medic. You would stim well in the field, be able to kick just about anything's tushy, and be able to give the best Ent Buffs and healing. You would not be able to drop camps or run over hills very well, which _really_ slows you down while trying to stim groupmates on hilly planets. You could make your own meds in a pinch too (they won't be great, but it's nice to have).
If you wanted to put more emphisis on healing and less on butt kicking, you could do master Musician or Dancer, 0-4-0-0 Doctor, and have 12 points left to spend past Novice TK:
Option 1 - 0-0-3-0 would get you close to the speed cap with a good set of speed sliced vibro knuckles
Option 2 - 0-1-1-0 would get you both Knockdown and Dizzy 1
Option 3 - 3-0-0-0 would get you a good bit of boost and meditate for self healing, but that seems a little silly with so many med skills already.
The 0-4-0-0 Doctor would give you the ability to rezz though which would make your groupmates your bestfriend if a master Doc isn't around.
If you are willing to give up Master Ent buffs, you could go Master TK, Master Ent, Master Medic. You would have all the butt kicking and a good deal of both Med and Ent healing, plus a decent selection of songs, dances, and even a little ID to play with. ^^
Any of these would be fun and could be changed around pretty easily, you just need to play for a while and see which you are enjoying the most so you'll know what to concentrate on. 
Zab is a fine race for these combos, you should go with that if that's the way you are leaning.

At crafting 3 your stims will be garbage. Better to go with Pharm 3 and buy stim b's and c's that will have twice the healing power and three times the charges as anything you will make yourself.

Jason's right, they will suck... Pharm would be the way to go if you want to use harder stims, but you can use really good stim B's w/o it. You could also just do 4-4-0-0 and do three boxes in either ID or Music/Dance if you wanted to. Wound packs were my thought, but it's really easy to switch out novice lines like that so whatever you did would be fine.

Thanks, helps alot
Master TKA is something I want, can I get the stuff that makes scouts faster too? As in, have all the fightin' prowess of the TKA, movement speed of a scout, and the ability to heal all my HAM bars and maybe craft stims and stuff?

Scout speed caps at Master, obviously, but you get 40% of the bonus at 1/0/0/0. That's a 17 point investment.
Also, Entertainers can't heal mind DAMAGE, only WOUNDS. It takes a CM to heal mind damage.

I never realized I was this indecisive...
What seems fun to me a musician, doctor, and TKA...
Will it work? Any tips for doing it?

Yes, you can be some med, some ent, and some unarmed... it is a good mix and pretty common. The problem is Doctor is a point eating monster and Musician isn't as easy on the points as other Elite professions that don't take two lines. Starting a new character and training the novice boxes will give you a good idea of which one to concentrate on. You will not be able to have all of the benifits of a Master Doctor, Master Musician, and Master TK... none of us here can tell you whichwill bemost important to you.
You can get a skill calculator here: http://www.bloodfin.org
You can get leveling tips from the stickied posts at the top of each of the profession forums (there would be too much to list here).
