yeah essentially they will all entail something to the effect of, OH you have studied this, interesting, but what do you really know of XYZ, come with me and i will show you how to hone your abilities to be a true master of ______.

So for glad it would probably be something, like, you have fought your way up in the pits of ul dah, and trained your body with hardship in the seas of limsa, but what do you know about truely protecting you group? I can show you how to be a paladin, and no enemy shall be able to touch your comrades without first ripping you from the face of the planet.

for blm i could imagine it going either way
talking about mastering the elmentals destructive potential, or thaumaturge abandoning the precepts of life to focus soley on the destruction of their foes.
