From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
A character's Main Job is the primary job he/she has chosen to use, and which will gain or lose any Experience Points. A Support Job (subjob) is a secondary job, restricted (if applicable), to half the level of the Main Job, which provides access to additional Job Abilities and Job Traits based upon the restricted level of the subjob.
The "Standard Jobs" below are those jobs that are available to all players at the beginning of the game. The "Extra Jobs" are available upon completion of certain quests.
Standard Jobs
There are six standard jobs that are available to all starting players.
Extra Jobs
By completing certain quests after reaching level 30, the door to many other exciting jobs will open.

A bright tune to soothe a party's wounds... A brisk march to raise a party's spirits... A forbidden chant to weaken a party's foes... The bards of Vana'diel use music as their weapon.

Puppetmaster [3]

These wandering performers entertain crowds and confound their enemies with a customizable puppet known as an "automaton." Puppetmasters can also fall back on hand-to-hand fighting skills that utilize the flexible movements of their art.

Scholar [4]

During the Crystal War, these military tacticians often served as high-ranking officers in allied forces across Vana'diel. Extensive knowledge of ancient martial theory granted them the ability to wield dual schools of magic, between which they would alternate depending on the situation at hand.
