you have to place them all at time of level up.

Do all skill ranks have to be spent when you level up or can some be saved? I'm planning a Fighter with a 2 level dip into ninja and I want to save up some of the skill ranks.
Why save the ranks? Any class can put a skill point into any skill. The only exception being Fly, which requires a method of flying to take (and if you have one, any class can put ranks into Fly).
It would be beneficial if you start with a class that gets more skill points than you need to max all the skills you really want, followed by a class that gets less.
That being said one could always take the classes in reverse order or retrain the skill points later.

I think I see what you are trying to say. If you want only 6 skills, and take a class that gets 8 skill ranks as your 1t level, you max out those 6 skills and save the other 2 ranks until next level, where you use them to re-max 2 of the skills you want. Then if your 2nd class level only granted 4 points, you spend those to re-max the remaining 4 skills you really want. End result would be 6 skills at rank 2, as opposed to 4 skills at rank 2 and 4 skills at rank 1.
Yeah, you can't do that.
Yes, it can be frustrating, especially with Fly.
However, those 4 rank-1 skills are hopefully class skills, where you're triggering a +3 bonus. Since I rarely multi-class, I often find myself shorting out a couple of skills I'd otherwise keep maxed in order to come up with an extra skill pt or two per level to plug into class skills.
Retraining skill points is the answer.
