New (again), is it best to try Tank first or DPS if I know I just want to solo play?

So I’ve tried this game years ago and forgotten most of it, though I played FFXI for an unhealthy amount of time in its hay day.

I’m trying to figure out if I should start out as a Tank or DPS, and would love some opinions. Carby always makes me want to play SMN, but if I recall the play style eventually is a fairly static “swap minions in and out quick” rotation (I guess this can be said for all the jobs tho vis a vis the rotation bit).

MRD I have at 15 and isn’t bad, but is it just going to be a boring meat shield?

What about DRK and all those? Is there a specific base class I need to level to unlock those at whatever level way later?

About Trusts: I think I read that you don’t need to party up at all anymore, you can use NPC companions? How does this work?

edit also to add: if I know I’m going to be playing solo, is there a benefit to playing tank at all? Or should I just play a DPS instead?
