Having more than one class?Follow

I have been playing FFXI Since it was released and before that EQ. My question is this. Once you chose a class can you change again later? I have looked at a few forums on other sites. eq2vault, stragtics, etc. I saw one site that talked about being a fighter at lvl 20 and was an artisan at lvl 12. So I am wondering if I was like lvl 30 Fighter and decided I wanted to be a scout instead can I go to a guild master and start back at lvl 10 scout? Or say I am a lvl 50 Shadownight and want to be a Plally instead can I just change my class and start back at a lower lvl in the tree?

Ok I understand how this works for Fighter,Mage, Priest, and Scout. I quess the Artisan archtype might be different. This is what I read and why I seem so confused.

Is the artisan a separate archetype I must choose, or can my adventurer character craft items as well?
Every character can be both an artisan and an adventurer. The artisan archetype is actually a separate advancement path that is open to everyone. Artisans gain experience through practicing their craft, gaining levels and moving through the class tree to choose a class and subclass. Artisan experience is separate from adventure experience, so the only way to advance as an artisan is through the crafting process. A single character can, for instance, simultaneously be a level 23 paladin and a level 15 scholar; players choose which profession they want to display when another player sees them in the world.

I read this at

Just to be perfectly clear, your adventurer class and artisan class are two entirely seperate job tracks. Each is fixed once you make your choices (fighter/warrior/berserker for example) but you can advance both adventurer and artisan independently. For example I did fighter/warrior/berserker to 21st, but I also did artisan/outfitter to 19th.

but in eq1 you can GM multiple crafting proffesions, EQ2 you are stuck with one master
