Start with what you enjoy
Do you like gathering as you quest, making things for friends, or working toward one craft? Start there: a profession that fits your routine is easier to keep up than a plan built on a guess at profit.
A common pairing is one gathering profession and one crafting profession that uses its materials, such as Mining with Blacksmithing or Herbalism with Alchemy. Two gathering professions give you more to sell; two crafting professions mean buying most of what you use.
