Very conflicted new player needs a push in the right direction

Oh and by the way pick up your other classes early... Check in the actions under your character data. You'll find a surprise of which cross skills you can use from the very low levels.
I wish someone would have pointed that out to me like say 2 months ago.
Cause its a lot easier leveling other classes when you already have healing skills and protect ^^

For example.. My healer switched to archer, the sub class for black mage; my archer has been able to use cure, protect, and after level 12 be able to raise the dead.
Very convenient and handy.
