Herbalism, and mining if you want to make good money very fast, and early.

I agree. Those are constantly needed.
One of my guildes gave me a write-up he had about the crafting skills. I lost it after I re-formatted, so I'll post from memory.

NOTE: This is just a suggestion, you DO NOT have to take this route.
First off, I'll list the skills to take at what level.
lvl 1-40: Gatherer. (Mining, Herbalism, Skinning)
lvl 40-60: Whatever you want.
The reason for this is...
1. The gathering skills will bring in alot of money early on. That's what your after when you craft anyways.
2. You wont waste any money leveling these skills up. (auction house fee, mining pick, skinning knife)
3. You do them as you level. So you'r getting money and exp at the same time.
Now, I've done this with a warlock. I made ROUGHLY 175-200g in the time of level 1-39(almost 40). This does NOT include drops I got from mobs/bosses/instances/ect. AFTER 40, you can use the money you made to power yourself through a manufacturing craft like alchemy, blacksmith, leatherworker, ect.
Now, your wondering, "What about armor, weapons, ammo, food, ect?"
Well, this was my question at first. What you do is put some of your money away. (Send to an alt) Then with that money, you buy what you need. My warlock got most of her stuff from instances. I went to thottbot and looked at blue cloth drops then farmed the instances they dropped from. For example:
lvl 24-26: Robes of arugal, belt of arugal, Feline mantle. All cloth blues from shadowfang keep. Each of those items has +9-10 Int EACH.
That's about it. You can do anything you want with professions, this is just a suggestion that was given to me. I tried it, and loved it. Do what works for you, and just have fun~

I say skinning and herbalism, or skinning and minning. Cause there's plenty of dead bodies around left by others it's the easiest thing to far, leather that is.

If you're after money, gathering skills are the way to go. I went with skinning/herbalism/fishing and had enough money to buy a mount at L28 (but I'm a warlock, so I didn't need a mount).
I recommend skinning as one skill because they are always easy to find, even if they aren't YOUR kills (besides, I hate people who litter the landscape with corpses). Scraps don't sell, but you can give them to a guildie LW who can make light leather from them (see if you can work out a trade, for example 6 scarps for 1 LL - it takes 3 scraps to make 1 LL). Skinning is specially important if your character is a hunter - you don't have to turn off your animal spotting ability then.
I suspect that there is more money to be made from mining than from herbalism, but that might be a case of "the grass is greener" for me.
Fishing is where the real money starts coming in, though. Most of my gold came from fish.
