Which is better choice for me?Follow

Well im a lvl 9 gnome mage,and I currently have 67 Mining and 66 engineering. What I am wondering is should I drop Engineering for Blacksmithing?

The main reason I go for tradeskills is money. Currently, I just go out into wilderness to fight stuff and if I come up on mines I mine them. I have been making the rough copper bombs and selling them for pretty decent amounts to vendors. What I'm worried about is that vendors hardly ever pay as much as people and most of Engineering items can only be used by engineers, so AH is rather limited. So should I just stick with selling to NPC's or go to blacksmithing?

I am a Mage Tailor/miner. Great comination there, and I either make my own armor or get it in instances. Repair costs are also low as a mage. It is a good way to get money; but don't expect to make a fortunate any way without some work.
