Mesos

During the second job, Ice/Lightning Wizards generally make more money than Fire/Poison, but less than Clerics. Near the end, all 3 come closer together, but during the 4X and 5X and some of 6X, Ice/Lightning remains second. If you picked Ice first (tree 1/3), then you would earn a decent amount of money while leveling at an ok speed. If you picked Lightning first though, you would level a LOT faster at the earlier stages, but waste a lot of money on potions. Usually a Lightning Wizard will use a few million mesos before they max Cold Beam.

Overall

Ice/Lightning Wizards start fun, but end up getting boring as the training spots start diminishing, starting at level 40 or so. Once you reach the third job though, it becomes a lot more fun. Just be patient, take a break if you need it, and you'll eventually finish.
