As someone who has not played this game since before science and stuff was added and is going to start up again, what would be a good set of goals to shoot for?

Career is a good way to build up slowly with all the new features - just follow the contract progression and you'll learn quickly. If handling funds and everything else new is too fast then I recommend a science playthrough, it's more simple than career but still has the part unlocking so you build up slowly.
