For job type aspects I have in general used my own story to progress me and ignored the set one in the game. Maybe just the examples would be better than my approach..
WHM
Not a great student but a natural tallent.So she spent more time on laundry duty than most. Eventualy they sent her off to work with the Sylphs who like her more care free nature. This led to her finding a unicorn friend and will be her path to white mage.Â
SCH
As part of the sylph help she was sent to understand the breadth of magic, so did basics in all the other mage classes. With Arcainist she could not get this at all until somone helped her and she discovered the song within the Aether and herseld. So while she is a scholar she does in fact sing her spells and uses music as her formula equivalent.Â
BRD
This is her main role and she progressed from archer to traveling bard. Now with the addition of magic I class her as a Spell Singer and so more like an arcane archer.
PLD
Her latest experience, and I pay her as a Bard who is gaining a broad set of experiences. Here I totally rejected the paladin guild and it was through a relationship with her god that she progressed as a Paladin. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the story and so she is an associate as a free Paladin.
So I have kind of rolled the classes and jobs together into my character, rather than let the roles define her. She is a Bard first and foremost but now with some broader experiences. She has yet to get her relic bow IC even though she has had it ooc for ages.
Hope that helps.
edit: Just to add that this outcome was the result of RP, my initial idea was BRD/WHM but the RP took it in a different direction which is far more wonderful.
