If you've already chosen a profession (you say Scholar) then it is too late to change it, the only choices you get now are whether to be a Sage,Alchemist or the other guy. If you say you are Artisan level 9 ( assumed because you say before level 10) then you haven't yet chosen your profession, so you can still elect to be a craftsman when you go see the tradeskill certifiers in either Queynos Harbour or West Freeport.
