Also concerning the Red Mage job, I know it says lev 50 war or magic, so you do NOT take a job at lev 30 right ? Say I was a lev 30 lancer I just keep leveling up to lev 50 in lancer then go pick up the Red Mage job ?
Lots of players join a different GC than the one for the origin city state.

You do not HAVE to pick up any other job prior to picking up RDM, but there is really no good reason not to.
If you are a lancer you can technically go on being a lancer until you pick up Red Mage at level 50, but it is really a better idea to pick up Dragoon at level 30 and then play as DRG until you pick up RDM. You loose nothing by taking a job at level 30, but can gain quite a bit.
