Level(32) Skills.  I wanted to make it obvious to myself where the skill points are going.  This helps
when thinking about what jobs to combine.  The first eight are your new Captain choices.
The rest are some of my favorite jobs to combine with the Captain, and Officers.
Note: Great news character Level cap has been raised from 32 to 40.  Captain gets 44 job ranks Officers 40.

Official Job Stats ascending, descending table.
