I suggest being an Alchemst or Sorcerer if you want quick experance, and if you want money, be a barbarian, but you better have some freinds with high levels that can get you there too. Because you can kill them Smokey's and Hievils, and Dievils and sell their hearts and livers after IDing using woodsman/woodlore, same thing.
Anyway, you can mine iron, coal, gold and diamonds. You will basically need these for making tools and swords.
