Academy Skill Quests
Talk to Armin Saberlin. He'll get you started on the road to a second profession.

Every character in Guild Wars can have two professions. You have already chosen your primary profession -- it determines your appearance, the armor you can wear, and your special attribute available only to members of that primary profession. The secondary profession gives you access to the skills and basic attributes of that profession, but you are still restricted to the armor and appearance of your primary, and you will not have access to your secondary's special attribute.

You may do any and all of the secondary profession quests. When you start one of them, it will temporarily give you the skills of that profession. When you finish the quest, it will give you the option to commit to that profession. It's advisable to try all professions out before choosing one permanently -- just go back to the secondary profession trainer later to commit, if you choose not to the first time.

You should also go outside Ascalon City and speak to Haversdan again. He will direct you to the first skill quest for your primary profession. Note that the first skill quest is always the same as the secondary profession quest for that profession. Thus, you are able (and encouraged) to do your primary profession's secondary profession quest. When you first talk to your primary profession's skill trainer, you finish the quest from Haversdan and earn:
