You can choose to have 2 different kinds of professions in WoW. You have the choice of choosing professions based on either primary or secondary professions. You can choose to have only two main (primary) professions but can have all the secondary professions if you want to.
Obviously with the ability to take advantage of two primary professions and an unlimited number of secondary professions it is wise to do some research before you choose your professions. Many new players find that they waste a lot of time levelling up their skill points just to discover they have chosen the wrong professions.
Because professions go to 450 level it is a great waste of your time to level up a profession that you cannot use properly. This is made worse because you have to start again from scratch if you change professions. When you pick professions that suit your game style and the class of your avatar then you suddenly find yourself having a great advantage over other WoW players and being able to level up and power up your character much more quickly!
Of course once you pick your professions you do not want to take too much time leveling up your skill points. I will show you how to do this at the end of this article.
In the beginning however you should focus on choosing your professions wisely. By far this simple first step is the most important one when it comes to WoW professions. Many new players give little or no thought to which profession they choose and therefore usually end up with professions that are useless to them.
Tailoring would be pretty useless to the warrior class for example. Blacksmithing would prove much more useful to a warrior as it would allow the warrior to forge new and improved weapons and armour.
However, a priest, shaman or mage would greatly benefit from a profession such as tailoring because they use cloth armour!
When you know which professions are best for you to use you can choose two primary professions that match each other. As an example mining and blacksmithing are 2 primary professions that work well together.

Guide to Choosing a Profession in WoW
When you play World of Warcraft one of the most important things to consider in the game is levelling up your character. Of course it is important to level up quickly. At lower levels you get killed a lot and the game can be frustrating. It doesn't take long to realise that there is more to world of warcraft than just levelling up your character. Take the professions for example!
There are a few reasons for choosing your professions carefully. When you pick your primary profession, and your secondary profession, it is a good idea to do a little research into the professions (and your character's class) first. Many new players choose professions that are completely useless to their character and style of game-play. However, it can also be used to create items that can be sold at the auction house.
With a great many professions it is possible to use them for the benefit of an entire group and not just your own character.At higher profession levels it is possible to create items, using your high level skill, that can be sold at auction for a nice price.
It is often a good idea to twin professions that suit one and other and that also suit your character's class. Mining and jewelcrafting are two examples of complimentary professions.
It takes different things to level up different professions. If you hate grinding and farming then perhaps tailoring is not for you as you need a lot of cloth (which you usually get off dead enemies). If you find it hard to make gold then perhaps jewelcrafting I snot for you either!
Also take into account the class to which your character belongs before you pick a profession. Blacksmithing would be pretty useless to a mage as a mage uses no metal armor - perhaps a tailoring profession would better suit.
If you are having trouble picking additional professions after your primary one is chosen then you should consider choosing enchanting. This neat profession will let you disenchant any item that you can't get sold so you can sell the shards or dust from it.
Try to avoid the usual route when levelling up your profession as it takes way too long.The most successful WoW players ensure that they know exactly how they will level up their character and gain 450 profession skill points before they even chose their profession.

Can You Really Max Out a Profession in Just 1 Day?
As an avid World of Warcraft player I know how difficult it can be to level up a character. In addition to that we all know, all too well, that certain races and classes are harder to level up than others. Therefore it should not be surprising that professions offer the same challenges - even to experienced players. However, I have discovered the dirty little secrets that can be used in any profession to level up super fast. In fact the average profession skill max-out time for a player using these secrets is just 1 day - even newbies!
The problem with choosing a primary profession is that often you are not really sure which profession best suits your character due to your race and class. Very often it isn't until you have gained a great deal of skill points that you realise you have picked the wrong profession or at least realise that the one you have chosen isn't a great fit!
If you do not want to fall into the same trap that I did, levelling up skill points in a profession that was almost useless to you, then you need to choose your profession carefully or find a way to level up so fast that it doesn't matter if you find one that is no good for you - just pick another and level up super fast again!
If you get lucky, like I did, you may come across the relevant information that you need outlining the professions and giving hints & tips on how to level up quickly but unfortunately this information is sparse and hard to come by.
I was very lucky and found it after only a few days scouring the WoW forums and blogs. I know a few days is a long time but it could have been worse. Obviously if I knew back then what I know now I would have just used that time to level up a few different professions to see which would suited me best.
Whatever you do try not to waste your precious play time building up your skill points in a profession that is almost completely useless to your character! I have seen players waste their time getting to the high 300s just to discover that their profession is only good for selling stuff they've made at the auction house. Now getting more gold is great but your profession should also help you to power up your character!
Below you can find all the information you need to level up your skill points fast (if you are the average player in just 1 day) so you can do what you want to do - enjoy the game!
