Shadow Meso is a skill not worth sitting on. Meso Up is free mesos, seems like an easy choice to me.
Basically throw every point you have into Shadow Partner until you've maxed it. Most people toss in a point of Avenger somewhere, but personally I think it's a load of cowmuck. The damage of it is terrible and it only hits 4 enemies and in the last few SP Shadow Partners's damage goes up a decent bit with every point, and you need it. Unmaxed SP damage is pretty godawful.
At this point you could either start Alchemist, or another skill. But as everyone only does sniping of Newts and such, might as well be practical and lose less money doing so. And if you go to a place actually not a million times above your level like Squids, it helps more than any other skill at this point.
After that you could head for Himes, and thus need Avenger. But depending on whatever server you're in they could either be crowded as hell, or completely deserted and Tengumonsters running rife. Otherwise Gobies are still an option but once again maxed Avenger is highly recommended.
At this point it doesn't really matter anymore because people don't know how to level anymore without incredible ease and you'll bugger off to Newts, so you'll probably want to go for Flash Jump which'll you have maxed earlier and completely ignored anything I typed up here because people can't resist. From this point on you just finish up whatever skills you still need to do save for Shadow Mesos. If you haven't got maxed Dark Sight yet, you'd best be off doing that after 11x with your leftover points, and whatever other skill if you maxed it already in first job. Eventually you'll have SP (MAX), Alc (MAX), FJ (MAX), MU (MAX), Avenger (MAX), Shadow lolWeb (MAX), Shadow Mesos can get lost and doesn't need to be loved.
