Don't bother being a hunter until about...oh, level 75. (Depending on your server)
Make sure you get in a party with a trader whose npc thieves won't kill you (duh).
Assess level, then kill any thieves you see out of town if you can. Collect your weekly paycheck.
I became a hunter at lv32, worked out pretty well for a rogue.
