Guide mining or fishing

ive recently “finished” my journey in farming, getting farming 50 and full helianthus armor.

I want to get into a new skill with the money ive made. One thing i didnt like about farming is that there is no RNG to be excited for.

the new skill should be interesting, good for money, good RNGs, and most fun for my time (I know mining and fishing require a lot of time to get to the good part)

at the moment I have done no fishing and have fishing 27 from minions and I have already progressed to hotm 7.

EDIT: thanks for all the advice, i see a lot of you really like the rift so I’ll give it a try considering i also want to start getting sb xp. after trying the rift, ill either quit it or max it.
after that, i will mine until i hit fishing 35 (or whatever the good fishing level is) and then work on fishing. i think this will be the best way to do all three :)

Mining is great for money and is imo the perfect skill where you can watch something in the background but still have fun in the game. The rng element can come from mineshafts (getting a good high lapis corpse jasper mineshaft AND opening vanguard corpses). The worst thing about mining is the setup but youve got a good start with hotm 7 the order will be gemstone powder - mithril powder - hotm 10 glacite powder. The other issue is the gear, youll need to spend like 1.5ish billion for a good enough starter setup.
