Best way to do the 2.0-2.55 Story to access Ishgard?

[Seraphyel]

The thing is, I don't want to rush through the story, but I don't want to put efforts into playing a job I am going to change. I would love to do all those stuff as Astrologian but I can't because it's locked behind 100 Story Quests which are mostly totally dumb and annoying. I understand there needs to be a requirement but the Heavensward "Gate" is awful.

I really enjoy the story with the Ascians, the Garleans and the Primae but the biggest part of the main scenario is just awful. Doing some sh*t for Tataru or going back and forth just to tell somebody that something is happening. I think I teleported 100 times the last 2 days just to get back to Minfilia... excuse me but that's neither interesting nor story-relevant.

Another question: how do I get the job when I finish the main scenario? Can I go directly to the guild (?) and get the job when I finished the 2.55 quests or must I do more?

Once you get access to Ishgard you can start right away, just have to find the guild, it won't be displayed on you map until you find it.

As for the quests, yeah its a bit mind numbing. When they were released it wouldn't have been bad, but now doing them all at once it just gets in the way. Once cleared you'll be glad its over and a huge sigh of relief.
