I haven’t touched professions since WoD, but I’m looking to give it a go now. I’m not concerned about alt synergy, as I will probably ONLY level Sam’s professions.
I will be playing with my partner, he does not do professions, and we will be doing M+, heroic raids (for me anyway), and farming legacy content for mogs/recipes/titles. We have a crapton of gold saved up, so I’m not looking to necessarily make money off of this. I do enjoy playing the AH though, so if it helps with that it’s a plus, but not a requirement.
Any ideas?

None of the proffessions are “fun.” You are just clicking around a UI to make things.
At best, if you like being a salesman pick blacksmithing, leatherworking, jewelcrafting, or tailoring so you can yell in trade chat to attract customers

I like Herbing/Alch, to me it’s the most fun. But many would probably say Engi and anything else.
Engi has a lot of cool things you can build. Including mounts.

First tough decision of your upcoming marriage…
Who is the Crafter and who is the Gatherer?
No profession is really fun but some pair well.
Mining & BS/Engineering
Herbalism & Alchemy
Enchanting & A crafting profession
Skinning & LW

Man, I’d do anything for a cooking minigame. I’m talking WoW Cooking Mama.

The only profession I’d say is fun, especially with no gold requirements, is engineering. Toys and portals and mounts and quality of life stuff like Jeeves.
For legacy content maybe just pick whatever crafting profession gives you access to cool bind on pickup transmogs? Dunno

I work on most professions to some degree but my top 4 are alch/eng and herb/mining.
I love to log in to my dracthyr, turn on some music, pop a 30 minute truesight potion, and fly around either spidy land or the isle collecting flowers and ores. Super relaxing.
Alch/eng for my main for cauldrons and Rez cables.

I’d argue that engineering is fun, it has a heap of toys and utility items, i seriously couldn’t imagine playing a main that isn’t an engineer.

You need to be flasked 24/7. And you would always need health and DPS potions. Herba/Alchemy is the best. And if you want to make money, sell transmutes and of course, level 3 herbs.
Also on dungeons, you would need food buff. Fishing and Cooking is also decent. In TWW, you can also use your extra herbs as food. There is hearty foods. Its buff remains after death. If you are planning to make a new toon, make a Panda for double buff on food.

I’m definitely both and the healer. Husband is more of a “kill everything red while looking fierce AF” kind of player lol.
I went with Engineering and Enchanting, two professions that suit Sam’s back story well. Kind of reminds me of Cadderly from the Cleric Quintet series by RA Salvatore. A cleric of the God of knowledge who invents gizmos.

If your Husband is just wanting to kill then Skinning would be good because he’s already killing the mobs. Pair it with Leatherworking or Tailoring (cloth drops from all Humanoids)
Al that’s a great idea! I’ll just level leatherworking on his character when he’s console gaming on the couch! Thanks. 
Alch or engi have the most fun things to craft I would say. I also enjoy mining herb on the same toon really feels like a farming machine, but that’s kind of a niche type of fun I suppose.

He never asked which one is fun or not fun, he asked with one is the most fun, completely different type of question.

No other profession puts the F U in fun like engineering.

I just repeat the same two in every single character- herbalism and mining.
You get xp for each and after you stock pile a decent amount sell it on the ah.
No fuss or stress worry about recipes patterns or any nonsense.

Engineering and any one of Alchemy / Enchanting.
Top usefulness while still being fun.
Pure crafting is useful but unfun, gem slots needing random proc slots or expensive/rare items kinda killed JC.
I guess skinning and enchanting since you never have to think about it and can sell mats without hunting anything different then usual.
This one is enchanting/alchemy. So I can enchant my own stuff in the middle of the night when friends/guildies are asleep. And make potions for the alts to use.
I have all the professions on alts and they all feed/clothe/enhance each other while most gather mats. I never sell anything; tend to buy mats when low to level the crafting professions.
Just a self-sustaining mini-mall account here. For 20 years - it works well for me.
