New player need advice

Yeah War or THF are good starting jobs, relatively cheap to level. I think THF is one of the best jobs to first take to 99 because if you get your Treasure Hunter gear there is a decent amount of demand for what you can do in terms of loot. War is more of a damage dealer though. Thf can do some respectable-ish damage but it doesn't get invited really to deal damage. War you'll find useful for proccing in abyssea.
