Best Answer

A journeyman is a craftsman that has not reached the master level. He or she would do many of the same things a master would but with oversight of a master.

What was a paid apprentice called in the middle ages?

An apprentice by definition was not paid. They were a young person who was learning a trade. They lived with a master craftsman as a member of the household. In exchange for their labor they were given training and supported as a member of the family. In some cases they may have been given a small cash allowance for incidentals, but they were not given a wage. Once an apprentice had finished a number of years of study, often seven, they became a journeyman. A journeyman was paid a wage, and would often take up their own residence, but it was possible that a journeyman might live with his master, or rent space from him. Living space was at a premium in medieval cities, and a journeyman, particularly in a less affluent trade, might find himself renting a chamber or garret, and if the master had such space available it made sense to live close to work.


How did a person a member of a guild?

The usual path to guild membership started with apprenticeship. As a child of six or seven, a person would be apprenticed to a guild master who provided education in exchange for work. The apprenticeship usually lasted until the child was a young adult and adept enough at the trade or craft to work independently. Normally, the next step was for the person to be a journeyman. A journeyman learned more of the craft or trade from different masters. A journeyman also worked independently on his masterpiece, which was a project specifically intended to show his ability. The final step was to have the masterpiece judged. If it was good enough, the journeyman could be admitted as a guild member. There were many different guilds, and they were not all organized identically. Some had different grades of membership, and in some cases membership was granted to the widows of guild members so they could continue family businesses, with much of the work done by journeymen under the widow's supervision.
