How does EVE lore explain miners?

I mean, you go through all this elite highly selective super expensive training, people expect you are gonna become some kind of combat pilot

Only one capsuleer school per empire is actually for combat. The other two are for trading and industry.

Also, the money mining earns would still make a capsuleer far wealthier than most non-capsuleers.
