Hey everyone, first I'm going to give you guys a little info about my characters. I'm currently one month into WoW. Well I have a level 70 Orc Hunter as my "main" right now, but I'm working on a leveling a Paladin, and he is level 40. My professions on my hunter are LW and skinning(350). I'm trying to get mining and herbalism going on my Paladin. I'm terribly behind in all of my professions, because I'm a new player, and my characters have(in my hunter's case) or are out leveling my professions due to recruit-a-friend.
Trying to catch up on professions has become frustrating to me, and it's really showing, because I'm broke all the time. My friend that is leveling with me gives me gold when I need it, and I sell the mundane items I get, but it still sucks. I use the profession leveling guides on here, and I also use gathermate, which I am thinking about switching to gatherer that uses the wowhead database, but it still is too time consuming to level my professions outside of character leveling, because I have college.
Since I've become in desperate need of gold within a short period of time, I was thinking about checking out some of the gold guides. The thing is, I don't know if they would be any more useful than the help I get on here, or if it would actually help me speed up my farming. For right now, I'm trying to keep up with doing two gathering professions on my Paladin, but it is still a pain due to the time consumption.
Any advice?

Don't bother with professions.
Level to 80 and then power level all of them in a couple of days
What a stupid advise. It is by far easier to level profession while you level up than going back to old zone to level them up.

And this is by far the worst
advice
a newbie could get. It's just wrong.
Leveling a profession @lvl 80 is far easier and takes less time. Why?
Well, for starters, you'd have the gold to purchase your mats from the ah.
->Purchase mats -> craft stuff (and thus raise your profession skill) -> sell -> |
^----------------------------------------------(start over)--------------------------------------------------
2nd of all, you've prob got faster mounts and flymounts which makes gathering mats way easier.
3rd of all, on pvp realms, you'd be less bothered as a lvl 80 than let's say a lvl 60. :)

@Anand: You will have to explain me how going back to low lvl zone once you are 80 is easier and faster than just grabbing the ore/herbs while you are in the zone leveling there. If you are in the kitchen, it is not faster go to living room than coming back in kitchen to grab a beer then go back in living room, when you could grab a beer right away and then go to living room

I don't really want to go into that debate on when to start leveling your proffs. But here's a thought you might want to consider: If you do indeed intend to go to 80 without working on proffs, pick up two gathering professions, and use them as you level. That way you'll have earned some spending cash with very little invested time, just as long as you use your gathering proffs enough that you don't have to worry about leveling it before you move on to a new zone.
Personally, I'm not a fan of leveling, and I like to have something else to do that gives me a feeling of getting things done. Grinding quests/mobs/LFD from 1 to 80 seems boring, and so does leveling proffs for hours on end after you've reached 80.
But I can see how, say, leveling BS/JC is faster all in all if you don't start until 80.

It's not the fact that I need the gold and a lot of it. The thing is that I'm trying find out efficient ways to level my professions while I'm leveling due to the time constraints that I have because of RL. I really want to be able to craft stuff and get the benefits of professions, and not just the gold that comes along with leveling professions. I have found a route addon for the gathermate addon, so that is making things easier. Thanks guys for you input.
