I'm sure you could get a level 1 job to at the very least 30 in a few hours that way, it's ludicrous reasonable.
Fixed that for you.

Why? Because to have an effective character one still has to level crafts to make equipment, grind spiritbond to make materia, DoLs to pull up materia and or farm the gil in order to circumvent any of those activities.

There's still plenty of grinding in this game directly tied to character development.
