Mages....
Well if you want it to benefit you then choose Tailoring so that you are able to wear the clothes you make and sell stuff while levelling the skill, plus either Herbs, Mining or Skinning.
But if you want to make money then any two of Herbs, Mining or Skinning.

simple: pick the ones you enjoy most
Preferably, if you wanted professions to benefit your class, pick tailoring/chanting or 3 gathering skills (mining/herb/skinning and fishing)
Oh don't forget to pick up first aid as that's pretty much a must for all classes even healing classes

Tailoring isn't the best, there are no best professions really, anyway ... tailoring will be very nice for mages come The Burning Crusade as you'll be able to craft your own Shadoweave or Spellfire cloth depending on whether you have Shadoweave Tailoring or Spellfire tailoring.

Those sets are epic quality cloth armorpieces availible only to tailors (as in, they're BoP) at level 70. A good choice. That and you'll be able to craft your own spellthreads (though as a Mage don't forget to take the right reputation for it (Aldor or Scryers, they switched recently).

Enchanting is also quite nice with the BoP Ring enchants (+damage, +4 all stats, etc.) that Enchanters can only apply to their own rings.

Or any of the money making professions like Herbalism (with or without Alchemy), Mining (with or without Jewelcrafting), Skinning, etc.

start with two gathering professions to jump start the character financially if it is your first character. Then switch to tailoring/enchanting. Tailor green items and disenchant them to get mats for leveling enchanting.

At about 225 tailoring, you need to decide whether you want to stay with it or drop it for something else. You could go with engineering to get some PvP advantages, or jewelcrafting to be able to make some nice BOP items. Either of these professions will be expensive unless you have a miner alt (think Hunter with mining and skinning to finance your enterprise).

Or you could go back to a gathering profession to make money if you only have time to play one character.

Tailoring will still make money by turning all those cloth drops into more valuable vendor trash, and you can make lots of useful +resistance sets of gear for various boss fights. That requires collecting the patterns, which are often fairly rare drops.

I think tailoring/enchanting is the way to go, but that is just another of many opinions.
