Journeymen
In the medieval system, towns had special privileges and trades and crafts
were controlled by guilds.
The workplace was run by the master who employed apprentices and journeymen,
Journeymen had completed their apprenticeships and were qualified to do the
job (ie be paid daily wages). In time they could become masters in their own
right, but this would require acceptance by the guild - and presumably a
certain amount of capital.
In this context journeyman simply means a time served craftsman entitled to
a man's wages.
