My question is how critical this is that I get ALL of them? I don't mind leveling up one or two besides my main two, but I don't really have an interest in grinding out 15 levels of 6 or 7 other jobs. I'm already leveling up all of the DoL jobs.

Are there particular ones I should be focused on or it is really ALL of them? I'm doing all 3 DoL jobs and wanting to do Cullnary and Alchemy. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!
You might skip leveling one or two of the classes, but it is actually a really, really good idea to get ALL of the DoH classes to level 15 if you are going to do any crafting at all.
It takes no more than an hour or two at most to level a DoH class to level 15.


Later on it is not only cross-class skills that make it useful to level all classes. Nearly all of them require materials that are crafted by some other class, so by having all classes leveled you will save quite a lot of money by not having to buy stuff from the MB. That being said, Culinarian and Alchemist happens to be the DoH classes that are least dependent on other classes for materials.
