Please take my advice for what it's worth. If you just turned lvl 20 and are all excited about becoming a trader and think your gonna rule the finacial universe, 9 times out of 10 you're gonna be wrong. Unless you have serious help from guildies, trade runs get popped by lvl 50+ thiefs ALL DAY LONG. So be very wary with even your one stars. Doing multistars at that low of a lvl is good IF you have the high lvl hunter help along for the ride. Sometimes a gracious high lvl hunter is bored and hangs out near the ferries, but it is not gonna always happen.
As for thieving, you can only hope to get the scraps of dead 5 star runs and then scurry to the shadows to wait out the 5 mins it takes for the bandit den scroll to kick in. If you are seen by a high lvl hunter or trader you are almost always toast on site. Once again, IF you have guild support you are probably ok.
And finally the newbie hunter. You would be silly to think you could do anything except look cool in your hunter flag at lvl 20. Face it, look up pwned in the dictionary and you will see yourself.
Basically, without the enthusiastic support of your guildies, jobbing at lvl 20 is almost useless. I started when I was in my 40's and without help it was still hard. Just use the time you were gonna use to job for lvling and you will be much, much happier when you succeed in the jobbing portion of the game and dont fail as often.
Just my 2 cents...
