I'm running my first Traveller game in years and my first one ever in the Third Imperium setting. I ran session 0/1 this Saturday with five players, most of whom I've been playing and running games with for years. Three of them have extensive Traveller experience, one who has just about as much as me (limited) and one who is a complete newbie to the game.
All the characters are human of with no particular ethnic identity, being simply Imperials, instead of Solomani Imperial or Vilani Imperial. Three characters went to school, with two failing to graduate and one graduating with honors. Two went straight into their first careers, Psion psi-warrior and Noble Administrator. The noble failed survival and got ejected from his cushy job after getting severely injured in a duel.
For second term, two went from school into the navy, one went from school into becoming a merchant/broker. The failed noble became a rogue while the psion stayed in psi warrior. Everyone stayed in those careers for the next two terms before mustering out, save for the two Naval characters. One failed survival and got badly injured, though their hospital stay and recouperation was mostly paid off by the military. They chose to take the draft for third term and got recruited into the Marines and did pretty well there, getting promoted to Corporal before mustering out. The other naval character, who went commissioned officer (becoming a doctor in support) took a fifth term as a scholar. All in all, everyone was pretty pleased with how their characters evolved.
