So I have recently unlocked both the SCH and the SMN, and I gotta say if the way they want us to gain levels is by the base class, then it's going to get all messed up in the future. I don't think it's right that as I level up my SCH I also level up my SMN. The two jobs are meant for different things, albeit some of the actions are the same, they are played differently. I may be wrong, but at the moment ACN is the only one that branches into 2 jobs, and I think they should try to make it a bit different. This is just my opinion though. My idea would be to have the jobs start at 30, like they do now, but instead of all jobs associated with the base class earn the same exp, just have the 1 job gain it, and the base class exp based off of your highest level job. So as an example, my SCH being at 34, would have ACN at 34 and SMN at 30, but if I were to stop SCH and bring SMN to 40, my ACN would now be 40 and SCH remain 34.
