I leveled one of my units down as a Chemist to gain a little of every stat except speed, but when I leveled her back up as a wizard for 30 levels, a mime for 10 levels, and a monk for 40 levels, she lost one speed point in some job classes. I was trying to give her the best the possible way, so I can minimize any drawbacks. Yesterday, I got all the stats I needed at the cost of losing a around three MP. It's not bad considering her role isn't to use magic against the enemies. She's a samurai.
