A journeyman is "a fully qualified tradesman who had served as an apprentice of any trade. Originally he was employed and paid by the day as opposed to a 'master' who would have his own business where he could set his own rates and employ others." - From Dictionary of Old Trades, Titles and Occupations by Colin Waters. |

Journeyman - One who had served his apprenticeship and mastered his craft, not bound to serve a master, but hired by the day |
