Question related to this:

My level 20 Lancer quest is bugged (and I have a thread for it here) and I am not able to complete it. Instead of trying to do it over and over and hope that maybe one time it will work, I just moved on with the main story. Do I actually need to finish that quest in order to become a Dragoon, or is getting a job independent of the main class quests?

I will go back to it eventually, but I'm pretty bummed I couldn't do it :/
