   Because all servers have a slightly varied economy, the first thing you want to do is visit an Auction House and see what materials are selling for the most gold.
   The second thing you want to do is see how a profession will affect you stats-wise. For example, skinning will give you an increased critical strike rating.
   With those two things in mind, you should be able to determine what will make you the most gold and beneficially increase your stats.

   It appears you want to get right down to making gold right away so for that reason I don’t recommend you learn any crafting professions (Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Engineering, etc..) but instead just stick with material gathering professions. Crafting professions take time to level up and cost a lot of gold if you want to level them up more quickly by buying the mats. They can be very beneficial once you reach the high levels but it does take a while to get there, plus you have to rely on drops and gold for new recipes. So for that reason it would be best that you choose two material gathering professions.

   Here are some possibilities for you:

   Skinning and Mining. Increases crit rating and health capacity.

   Mining and Herbalism. Increase health capacity and provides castable healing to yourself.

   Skinning and Herbalism: Increases crit rating and provides castable healing to yourself.

   I always recommend skinning for rogues because of the crit bonus, and because leather is pretty expensive right now (on my server at least). Whether you choose herbalism or mining is up to you.

   depends on your server… because of the death knights… mining is insane… and because of inscriptions… herbalism is too…. i would def pick up a money making profession and then something that will benefit you as a toon =]

   I have made the most off mining. I just go into a cave, mine everything then log out, log back in 15 to 30 mins later and mine again. Herbalism AH prices have died off compared to what it was a month ago, but mining has gone up… at least on my server. Skinning is good starting a heavy leather and up in AH. Skinning and mining are the 2 easiest ones in my opinion.

   For a rogue, one of the best proffession combos is leatherworker/skinner. You can create gear for yourself, tho probably not right away if you are so high level. You can sell the leather you create on the auction house, as many different proffesions use them. Plus there is a nice little bonus to either skinning or leatherworking that gives you increased crit.

   go mining and herbalism, they are the 2 most expensive items selling on the AH at all times.
