Alchemy

Alchemy is very usefull and profitable skill, which doesn’t require any other skills to work, thats why you can simple make a new char just with alchemy skill, or even train it on pvp char. For training Poisoning, Alchemy is very handly, let you train the skill a lot cheaper. If you think about Alchemist profession for serious, you should focus on empty kegs and regs. Kegs can be crafted by Carpentry and Tinkering. Regs are also easy to get, there is a few sources, buying them from a NCP vendor, buying them from other players or Harvesting them youself with Lumberjacking skill, Alchemy skill is also needed to turn raw regs into ready to use regs (every 10% of Alchemy let you make one regent from raw reg, so with 100% of Alchemy you make 10 regents from one raw reg, there is no bonus above GM Alchemy).
