If you always want to be able to solo and you're not twinked, Ranger isn't the best option. Something like Iksar Necro would be better.

As for the Ranger slander in this thread, I'd like to provide some counter points.
Ranger was my first toon on green and I took it straight to 50 then farmed a small fortune with track.
In classic Rangers are actually awesome group tanks due to snap aggro and great pullers as well due to track and harmony. It's not until 51+ is when Rangers start getting the shit kicked out of them, but with a good slower it doesn't matter. Honestly, it is Kunark when Rangers are at their weakest.
I don't main my Ranger anymore, but it's underrated if you know what you're doing.

This guy rangers. I pretty much did the same thing as him and got my ranger to level 50 pre-kunark on green. It was a lot of fun and pretty hard doing it untwinked but still quite rewarding in the end. Some things I want to add
-Rangers are fine for face-tanking classic mobs (have tanked for groups in sol B and HHK nobles before while getting to 50.
-Bow kiting is doable but really should be used as a last resort. Because I was untwinked I decided to solo Karg Icebear (Level 35) by bow kiting. With sow pots and a shit-ton of arrows I did kill him at level 15/16. ...But it took like 30 minutes of pelting him with arrows.
-Harmony and track are great and outdoor zones are your jam. I'm just not sure which outdoor zones are hot spots/high ZEM places right now (back in my day crushbone, unrest/mistmoore, HHK were all the rage and all outdoors).
-While I wasn't unemployed, I was working from home during most of this so I had a ton of time to invest so that might also be a factor.
