Stardew Valley Blacksmith or Prospector
At level 5, you will have to choose between Miner and Geologist, and if you choose Miner, at level 10 Stardew Valley blacksmith or prospector will come up as an option for you to pick. I suggest you pick Prospector. Why? Because as Prospector you will get double chance to get coal that you will need a lot.
Coal is needed to make seed maker, beehives, slime egg-press, and many other things. Coal also is a necessary item for the furnace. Without a unit of coal available in your inventory, you can’t process smelting ore or bouquet, and impossible to activate the furnace.
