at first alchemy is very easy, later on its hard to get more lvls, in other words: more lvls at hte beginning, less at the end... Btw every time you use a skill and lvl in it, the coverning attribute (or something) will get a + point at levelling more (at a max of 5) so if you are a warrior, it really doesnt have much effect choosing that as major (like i did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> )
