Not a ton...since moving i realized how much more is to be earned in "quieter" systems, nor have i had much time since i got my retreiver.

All together maybe 15 - 20 million? Though that should go up pretty quickly.

In terms of professions, you can pretty much choose in game. The class you choose (As far as i know) doesnt really matter. Just the skills you choose in game.

I chose miner so i researched the skills to get into mining ships and increase mining yields, however lots you could do.

You could be an explorer, a trader, a manufacturer, miner, fighter, refiner, etc.

The class you select / race you select doesn't really matter because you can train any skill and become whatever you want. I can train for other races ships because they might have the best battlecruiser for example.

edit: I just read the article on that link you posted about restats. Didn't even think of that, i have a ton of points in Charisma that are nearly worthless.
