I realize it doesn’t really matter so far as which professions we pick, but are there any that are good for leveling or any specific class? And I seem to rembmer someone saying you should wait until you’re fully leveled to get professions. Can anyone help me understand this? Thanks
You can never go wrong with Alch/Herb but it truly does not matter these days. If you are lacking a Prof among a group of alts you can pick what you need and still find some usefulness.

Druids are extra awesome at Herbalism because we can do it without leaving form (as opposed to having to dismount, fight anything that aggros and remount). Alchemy and Inscription are both fueled by Herbalism.
Alchemy will allow you to make your own flasks and potions, which will be expected in more difficult content, and are quite expensive to buy on the AH. It also makes flasks last twice as long.
Inscription allows you to make War-Scrolls, which are handy in higher M+ keys where you’re looking for every advantage, but may not have a Warrior, a Mage and a Priest in the group. It also allows you to make unlocking scrolls, which are useful in Tol Dagor, and Glyphs, which are fun little optional cosmetics.
Ultimately no profession really gives you any significant gameplay advantage though, so if something else seems fun to you, do that. =)
Now that each expansion has its own profession tree, you’re probably not going to get much benefit from leveling the older expansions, especially since you likely won’t be in those zones long enough to accomplish much. Waiting until you get to BfA content to start leveling your professions seems like sound advice to me.
