From what I understand it works like this:

Not going to work like this:

The explanation is confusing because you don't seem to be noticing the difference between a class (the base form of ARR jobs without a soul stone equipped) and a job (the advanced form of a class, with soul stone equipped).

Your retainer will not start with the "bard job".

Your retainer will be "archer class".

You could upgrade the archer class to bard job OR upgrade the archer class to gunbreaker job.

BUT if you upgraded to bard (or machinist) you cannot upgrade bard to gunbreaker because you can't go from one job to another. Only from class to job.

Your MCH retainer can never become a gunbreaker without resetting their level and raising them again as an archer* and not upgrading to anything else to Lv60. So do that with the retainer you already reset.

* if you had other ARR classes unlocked and levelled, you could use those. But you only have archer, so that's what you need to use.
