Well, if your char has never had combat training before, I could see Archery for the sole fact that they wouldn't be in-the-monster's-face. Plus, archers are fairly popular in the Shroud, so it could be something that your char is more familiar/comfortable around.
Arcanist or Tharmaturge, those could make sense in the fact that they're still caster jobs. What could be a nice IC-struggle would be learning the different ways of casting (Arcanist being mathematical formulae, Tharmaturge being aether manipulation if I remember correctly, versus Conjurer's borrowing from nature).
Really, what you should do is sit down and come up with some sort of IC reason for changing. Branching out for more knowledge? Frustration from being the one in the back 'always being protected'? Starting to feel flabby and wanting something to use as exercise? Maybe something has happened and your character needs to start developing non-magical abilities to avoid detection? Got an invite to start training at another guild with a friend? Did something happen to get you thrown out of your current guild. Unless you put some sort of restriction on your character yourself, there really isn't much that's keeping you from doing any change you want. I would just suggest you find an IC reason rather than a 'Hey guys! Look! I'm suddenly a <insert job/class here>!"
