If you get Gladiator to 50 you might have access to the PLD quest unless you also need Marauder leveled a bit to obtain the job quest. If you want Warrior you'll have to level Marauder to at least 30 to gain access to the job quest. What they did say about jobs though is that jobs are pretty much a concept where you define your class more and you gain abilities based on doing the job quest. As a gladiator if you are in PLD mode you will obtain experience for Gladiator since Gladiator and Paladin basically share the same level.

To put it bluntly the job=class. Job is just a means to give your character a more defined role in combat, where as classes give you the option to be more flexible with your abilities.
