Here's an (updated at 8:15pm EST) update of how the questing is going:
SAM- Big thanks to Teljhin, Kailan, and Azrayel for helping fight the NMs. Made it to Norg and turned in the items, and by the time I get back to my PS2 I should have the job unlocked.
DRG- Major props to Siron (I think that's how it's spelled) for probably the most whoopass battle I've seen to date. He chainspelled, nuked the crap outta the dragon, converted, and resumed nuking... very impressive to see. Almost makes me want to continue playing as a RDM.
PLD- Ended up soloing this one, and made it to the well without incident. Didn't get aggroed by the mush there until the last second before my instant warp kicked in. It got one hit in on me and I finished this one pretty easily.
NIN- Major props again, this time they go out to Katsuoy for escorting me through Korroloka and pretty much kicking butt the whole way there. I was worried that this was the quest that might take me the longest, but it seems that honor will be going to summoner.
SMN- Haven't gotten the ruby yet.
Looks like I'll be running around trying to get the ruby to drop tonight. If I can pull it off and collect the weather tonight, I will have met my goal of gaining my last five advanced jobs over this weekend.
Once again, big thanks to each person who's helped me. Without you guys I would have either had a hard time getting it done, or wouldn't have been able to do it at all. I won't forget the help you've shown me.
