I'm a brand new player to FFXIV. I've been stuck in the Duty Finder queue for 2 hours trying to find a group for the mandatory 24-person Labyrinth of the Ancients raid. It's incredibly frustrating and wasting my time! This wait is really making me not want to play anymore.

Some articles suggest that DPS roles fill up faster in Duty Finder. Should I consider switching to a DPS class, even though I haven't made much progress on one?

Finally, I read somewhere that you need to complete at least 3 raids, which is quite daunting. Any suggestions for this or do I need to buy skip Main Scenario Progression from the online store?
