Advantage of gathering professions
The problem with crafting professions is that you fall into the trap that I like to call Skill Leveling Fever, where you will do whatever it takes to raise the skill of your profession.
So instead, pick two gathering professions. The cool thing about gathering professions is that you start making Tabula Rasa Gold right away walk up to a mineral vein or a plant or a dead animal and grab those mats. It is 100% profit. And since you are going to be spending a lot of time running around doing quests and killing animal sit only makes sense to take advantage of gathering professions.
