For some reason I just wanted to be SMN. That goal alone took up all of my newbie days, since SMN isn't exactly a friendly job to jump into. After SMN, I did RNG and BLM for a bit, then did a coin toss between SAM and MNK. MNK won and I ended up leveling it.
SAM is reaaally high on the list of jobs I want to level, but can't (due to lol-connection). I've been leveling RDM and BRD slowly, since people generally don't care if either are slightly laggy (at least until higher levels when bards are expected to pull and keep 4 songs up).
Best thing to do is to level everything a bit if you have the time. It doesn't really hurt to unlock the jobs (although some are harder than others). Some jobs change a lot as you get higher level in them too.
Generic Info!
Yay for broken connection preventing me from exping/meriting!
I went with BLU because it seemed like it was more suited to the way I play(I like to be doing damage to the mob as well as be able to cure myself if I have to). Basically I unlocked all of the jobs and started to level them to see what each had to offer. I would also read up on all of them as some(nin) require large amounts of gill. I would also try to level a few of the jobs as some jobs will require different subs depending on the situation.
u have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them
I play with others too.... Bst is actually really good in parties. I can out damage most of the dds I've pted with.
If you want a very versitile job play as Bst. Bst is the only reason I started playing FFXI, but then I found so many other things I liked too.
The only problem with BST in a party is the exp. penelty for using charmed beasts. I personally enjoyed letting the mob do all my work but I stopped at lvl 13.

And there's only an exp penalty for using a charmed pet in a party if you charm something higher level than the highest level person in your party.
Personally, I like to be mostly self-sufficient and be able to support others well, so I picked rdm and stuck with it. Eticket is pretty spot on. Figure out what part of the gameplay you like best and pick a job that suits that best. Based on this:
Naw. In games, I release my anger on mobs. Unless the game has open PK. Then...
Stay the f**k away. I will kill your granma if I want to. So yea. HMmmMMMMmmm... I might be a BLM. NUKE THEM BISHES!!
Edit: If I was a WHM... NO ONE THAT JOINED MY PARTY WOULD EVER LIVE PAST LEVEL 10. Mhm. I don't help people, I hurt them. >:D
