You should absolutely, definitely stop along the way to get your job at level 30 (which involves leveling another class to 15) if nothing else. Past that, it doesn't really matter that much. Cross class skills can help you level a little easier, crafting/gathering jobs can help you financially while you level. But being level 50 can help with all that, too. It's sort of a wash, and down to personal preference.

You'll also encounter Active Help at level 10 that says you get a bigger experience bonus on lower level classes the greater the difference between them and your current class. This text is incorrect; you get a flat 50% XP bonus anytime you are not on your highest class. (I bring it up because the help text sort of implies you should grind out a lot of levels before switching classes, and that's not true.)
