Once you've learned all of the Thief's spells at level 20, you can then change to a Sage class to access the spells from the two classes, making for a powerful character build.
Class Change Guide: How to Change Classes
You can also do the class change in reverse, meaning you can get a Sage class character to level 40 then change to Thief. In this way, you have a character that is mainly focused on spells and quick attacks.
Sage Job Class and Best Personality
As a Thief, you can easily farm for items by stealing it from enemies. This can be useful for stocking up resources.
The Thief Job Class is known for its high Agility (AGL) stat growth. It can be the first to attack because of this. It also has a mechanic where half of its speed becomes its defense, so Thieves can be durable during a fight.
Best Party: Best Starting Party Members
Unlike the other physical damage dealer classes, like Warrior and Martial Artist, the Thief class can use spells. All of its available spells can be learned by level 20.

A lot of this info is just cut/pasted from the previous game & does not apply to the HD Remake. It seems these sites are often thrown together at breakneck pace... So many errors! For instance, Agility no longer affects a character's Defense, so the Thief is not super durable like he/she was in previous versions of the game.
