Which term describes a trainee who travels from place to place under different masters and is paid for labor?

• A. Journeyman
• B. Apprentice
• C. Master craftsman
• D. Dean

Answer: (A)

In skilled trades, there’s a progression from apprentice to journeyman to master craftsman. The description of traveling to different masters and being paid for labor fits the journeyman stage. After completing formal training, a journeyman works for wages and moves from shop to shop to gain experience with various masters, but has not yet attained the status of a master who can run their own workshop and train others. An apprentice is still learning under a single master and often receives training rather than paid labor. A master craftsman has reached the highest level, capable of independent work and supervising others. A dean belongs to an academic setting and isn’t part of the traditional trades progression.
