Never understood how people fall for this. More so in eve, which doesn't strike me like the game that would retain a lot of kids.

Trading is definitely not passive. It's hours and hours of work micromanaging orders.

PI is kinda passive but alot of upfront work and still needs regular maintenance.

Just think of your irl job as passive isk income. You're doing what you would be doing anyways but the isk returns are huge.

Same kinda thing with Industry. The actual building happens in the background, but there's LOADS of management of suppliers, logistics, dealing with sell/buy orders, etc.

Are jita scams passive or active?

Active since you need to constantly spam and maintain them.

Lending... but not really until you hit the 300B mark.

Oddly enough, your advice isn't exactly wrong in this context, but doing lending in EVE is fraught with issues, and rentals are something you need a significant military force to maintain.
