Good point.
If I do choose to go with BS, is mining worth keeping due to the money income?
While you are leveling (and especially if you dont have financial support from more well-developed alts), it is highly advisable to take two gathering professions up to 70. Once you've made yourself a good stack of money and leveling mats for a crafting profession, then you can drop your gathering professions and powerlevel your crafting professions.
If you choose mining and BS, then you can provide for your own BS skillups starting from a low level, but unless youre looking to maximize performance in low to mid-level play, I would just go with two gathering professions.
