Just stick with it. Minerology needs love as it seems (though I don't know for sure) as if it is the last tradeskill they put in and also seems to get looked at last. Mostly you get stuck as a house building slave. You get a few furniture pieces like fireplaces and jugs but not nearly as many as carpenters.

Because you don't make cool weapons or armor or bags or whatever and because houses aren't really a necessary thing at this point (where are storage boxes?!) it's hard to come by mineralogists.

Given some dev love though I can easily see after you get new stuff patched in people will be looking for you like crazy. Probably the best things you can make like this are damage focus items, which are very desirable. But yeah, I guess if you don't like making houses, it would suck. People are going to really want houses as soon as storage boxes go in and that can potentially make you a LOT of cash.
