If you are new professions like mining, herbalism and skining are good since you can collect these while you lvl and they are a good source of gold as well.

Pick 1 between mining, herbalism, and skinning. Skinning I recommend only if you have big bags, as it takes more space than others (gotta loot all the loots, before you can skin).

If you want to go with leatherworking (pair it with skinning), because you can make leather armors for your rogue, it wouldn't be bad.
You'll make couple of armor pieces you'll use yourself as you level. It's a solid pick.

Making your own gear isn't the end goal with professions. It's more about what you can craft at higher level, and what enchants you'll get from it.
With LW you'll save gold when making leg armors for your own use, you can make other leg armors for others too, but those leg armors are harder, and/or more expensive, to make. Also, you'll get more potent wrist enchant, which you'll make yourself. So you don't need en enchanter to do that for you.


Doesn't really matter that much what crafting profession you pick, there are priests with BS, and DK's with tailoring. One thing I'll say however, don't pick enchanting, yet. Consider getting it later on, maybe an alt, or once your rogue is higher level.
