How it works is that, once you hit the appropriate levels in the primary and secondary classes that comprise a job (30 and 15, IIRC), you can complete a quest at the primary class's guild to receive the Soul Crystal that, when equipped, converts the primary class into the Job. Jobs lose access to some cross-class abilities, but gain access to role-specific Job abilities. You can equip and unequip Soul Crystals as gear. XP gained is applied to the primary class, and the Job's level is equal to the primary class level.
So, let's say Scholar requires Arcanist 30 and Conjurer 15. When you hit those levels, a quest is available in the Arcanist guild. When you complete that quest, you receive the Scholar Soul Crystal. When your class is Arcanist, you can equip the crystal to become a Scholar. Likewise, if you got the Summoner crystal, you can switch between Arcanist, Scholar, and Summoner just by equipping the correct crystal (or unequipping it to go back to Arcanist).
In general, since you lose access to some cross-class abilities when you activate a Job, and the abilities they provide are specific to a role, Jobs are usually used for group play.
