For my dear pirate captain, I had him take down the path of an Arcanist, which led him to become a Scholar, hence he parades egotistically with the title 'Scholar Captain', but I wanted to incorporate other classes, for craft, alchemy was the most obvious, but as he's still technically new to it, he's not brilliant. He's managed to sudbue foes with his potions, but the other night when we caught an enemy, he attempted to use his alchemy to get information, thinking he managed to mix together a truth potion, but it didn't work.
On the other hand, he's tried learning to wield a melee weapon, initially getting help with an axe, but later found his hands were better suited for a lance, again, he's far from proficient with it, but it allows me to parade with a lance when suitable.
I also had one of my crews Black Mages teach him a few things about offensive magic to help him getting better use out of his Grimoire, it was this help that later led him to being able to summon an egi. But at the of the day the only skill he's only really good at is related to being a Scholar.
He's also a culinerian, but rather, he's somebody who can cook and not a master chef...his crew have groaned at his miqo'bobs before. He also likes to fish as a pass time, as it was the only quality time he got from his alcoholic father.
I think it's realistic in that people will learn multiple skills in their life time and won't be a one trick pony, just of course be aware of the level of hard work it may take to master one and it may be unrealistic to master everything. Hence the captain isn't parading as a dragoon, but a lancer instead.
However, I won't be doing all the classes, I think he's got enough for the time being,
