You must unlock them by learning a certain number of abilities for in other, lesser classes. Note that almost all the job classes (and all the fun ones) have requirements before you can activate them. This section will be packed with information on what each class does as well as a class's general strengths and weaknesses, although we'll talk more of high-level strategy and what classes mean in the grand scheme of things in the Team Dynamics section.
