I was dumb enough to make enchanting a major skill. I should have chosen alchemy instead. The thing about alchemy is that you need to have a minimum about of skill to be sucessfull, say about 30. Descent equipment can be found for free too. It can be a huge source of income. Buy 100 ash yam and 100 bloat. Make five fort strength and drink them. Repeat till you've used all of it. Each time your int raises, the potion effects get better and the duration gets longer. By the time you go through all those ingredients you can make poitions at a 100% success rate that will be worth 5-30k each. I made some restore magika and fort int that that restores or fortifies 4500 pts for 7500 seconds. Those are worth over 20k. If I had made that a fort strenght potion, you could probably kill anyone with 1 punch.

My next character will have:
Major
Destruction (willpower)
Alchemy (intelligence)
Long Blade (strength)
Spear (endurance)
Marksman (agility)

Minor
Athletics (speed)
Acrobatics (strength)
Alteration (willpower)
Sneak (agility)
Security (intelligence)

Notice none of the skills will raise personality. I think personality is useless. I have low personality (40 at level 24) and I can always bribe and taut people, it just costs more and you have nothing else to do with your money. The skills are all things that you will use on a regular basis so it will.

I chose spear because it's governed by endurance. You want to get the max hp so you need to max endurance as quick as possible. If you fight with spears a lot, you can raise it naturally and then buy training in heavy and med armor when its time to level so that you can get a +5 multiplier without adding up points that go towards the next level. Armor skills take too long to raise naturally so they aren't great things to put in as major/minor skills. It's best to raise those by training.

If you want to be able to use magic, you should take the Atronach sign. It fortifies magika by 2*int. In return you can't regain magicka by resting, but you also get absorb 50%. To regain magicka you can summon ancestor ghosts and let them pound away or use potions. It makes it diffcult at first but the long term benefits outweigh the negative.
