You would have to play a different job if you want to "rush" into endgame like the OP wants to.
Personally, SMN is a strong DD/Support class, the problem is that SMN's abilities on the support side don't scale the way they should. I've played SMN since the the moment I could, and did I get invites, no really, because people saw SMN as a Gimped healer. There are lots of things holding SMN back from the true potential it could have, one of which is the player base. It falls into the same field as PUP, most people that don't play the job, don't understand how useful and devastating it can be.
