I've played characters who were effectively Smithing/Alchemy, at lweast for awhile. It's actually pretty easy. Use your alchemy (there are guides of what mixes with what) to sell potions. Travel from town to town to buy more ingredients. Buy ingots and leather and smith stuff (you'll lose money at first). When you have Dwarven Smithing (Smithing 30), raid a Dwemer ruin for scrap and ingots. Get necklaces or tiaras that fortify those skills. Before you know it, both skills are at 100, and you're making epic armor and hyperpowerful potions. And you have enough money to buy half of Solitude.
