That's actually the point. You're then asking yourself "Do I want to be absolute 100% invested in this single Job, or allocate points into multiple jobs?". Even if you don't invest any points into a particular stat, it should still remain playable, just not operating at its peak. Because you can still "reset" your Bonus Points, it doesn't lock you into a particular Job permanently or anything, but gives you a bit of personalization in making your character feel a more more uniquely your own.

Alternatively, like I said, just remove the choice entirely, as it doesn't really serve much function, other than allowing new players to unintentionally screw their stats up.
