Also, a surprising number of jobs is completely useless anyway.

As soon as you can, ditch the black mage for a geomancer. Forget the black mage, magus, summoner, sage, of any other offensive magic class. Geomancer deals consistently high damage completely for free.
It is not really the opposite of what I said when you think about what I meant with training other classes as well. It does not really mean "train 2435432" in this context, it just means he should not just train the Dragoons I have recommended because with them alone he will have a lot of problems at the very end. And I know that because that is how I did it. And then I had to train.
