Just leave it like it is. The system is pretty good, we just need more jobs to branch from. If you get rid of classes you also have to rethink the entire leveling system. Personally I'd rather just level a hand full of classes and then do content to branch into jobs, than have to level up every job by itself.
Give them the job treatment, and limit them to 2 subclasses.

Boom!
