Are you a jeweler now?

Just out of curiosity; I thought it could be interesting for us to know how many of you dumped your old profession(s) in order to get jewelcrafting instead. It could also be nice to know your motivation for switching to this profession, so here are a few questions for you to answer if you wish to do so :-)

What was your old profession(s)?

Why did you switch to jewel crafting?

Did you switch to mining as well as your secondary profession?
