On your character selection screen you find a new button named Shop.  Go 
there. :)

Two options.  You can..
1. either boost a char from 1 to 90.  But you have to manually level 
your professions after your boost.
2. or slowly level your char to 60 and buy the boost and get your 
professions leveled too!  This boost is also called Veteran Boost.

I will always recommend second option as leveling professions is a true 
pain and much slower than leveling a char from 1 to 90.

Shaman (melee, caster or heal) or monk (melee, tank or heal).  Both 
chars are fun playing and VERY easy to level too.  The shammy will 
almost oneshot groups of mobs with chain lightning if you also gear him 
up with heirlooms.
But you can also pick your mage or rogue.  The mage is a glasscannon and 
I will recommend you frost spec due to the survivability.
The rogue is quite versatile in most pve enviroments with almost zero 
selfhealing abilities though.  Me rogue is able to kill most mobs on 
Timeless in just ilvl512 overall gear thanks to this class' stuns and 
interrupts.  So played right you will recieve almost no damage.
Btw.  Once your rogue hits 60 you get access to a new talent called 
Cloak and Dagger.  You will LOVE this crazy talent! =)

Either jewelcrafting, tailoring or inscription.  JC fits with mining. 
Tailoring = 28 slot bags, 553 gear and inscription is a gold cow on AH.

Inscription is a different prof compared to the other profs as its not 
really expansion-dependant.  Even when you have maxed inscription you 
stil  have a very long way to go as you have to discover and learn new 
glyphs every day.  You can speed up this a bit by doing the daily LK 
(lich king) discovery and pandaria discovery every day + plus you can 
buy Glyph of Mastery books from AH.  Those books will learn you a new 
random LK glyph.
And if you think it cant get worse you also have to farm specific rares 
on Timeless if you go for ALL BoE glyph patterns (the new 5.4 BoP glyphs 
drops everywhere in Pandaria).  Glyph of the skeleton pattern (BoE) has 
a ~1% drop chance from rattleskew on Timeless.  And he only spawns once 
every 1-2 hour.  Good luck with farming this dude. :)
