Some of us have [thread=1027]had a think[/thread] about the professions that we're interested in picking up. Unlike the classes, I don't think we need to make any serious declaration on this one just now, but if you do know what professions you're planning on taking then here's a good place to declare them.
Remember, you can only have up to two "Primary" professions, but as many of the "Secondary" professions as you desire.
There are, of course, some natural Primary pairs.
Arguably, Tailoring and Enchanting mix well too.

So, give it some thought and shout out as and when you choose your professions for your first character.

- Mining, Blacksmithing
- Mining, Engineering
- Skinning, Leatherworking
- Herbalism, Alchemy
Arguably, Tailoring and Enchanting mix well too.
Other thoughts:
- As a Mage, Cooking is not a great choice. You can conjure food and water. Accordingly, Fishing doesn't help much.
- As a Tailor, First Aid is a poor choice (initially) as it competes for Linen and Wool and so on.
- If you're not interested in making stuff you could still take two Primary Gathering professions to either hand raw materials to the others or just put up for sale on the Auction House.
- Enchanting makes no money for quite some time, and the good recipes are extremely expensive. However, glowing weapons are cool, and the permanent equipment buffs are hard to say no to.
So, give it some thought and shout out as and when you choose your professions for your first character.
