It's an... interesting thought but... would we really need jobs for those sorts of things? Most of what you want could be better served through just new emotes, rather than building an entirely new (non-combat functional) jobs around them. And some of them you can do already, with little effort.

 

Asking for a refill or giving a sermon? That's just a /say or /em action. Drinking can be done by just having a drink item and using it. Reading a book? Just unlock ACN and take a look in a book! And your character already animates talking whenever you have them say things, so you really don't need an /emote for that - unless you want to have them idly standing around talking (in which case, an /idletalk emote would still be better).

 

And, if nothing else, you can do all of it to a degree by combining existing emote actions with custom /em text. All of which (minus the book-reading as ACN) can be done by any class at any time, without the need for the developers having to create whole new jobs to do so. Especially when most of the jobs have mirrors in iconic Final Fantasy classes - like White Mage, Ninja, and Dark Knight.

 

Personally, I'd prefer something like Samurai or Mystic Knight/Spellblade before these Disciple of Fun jobs.
