A journeyman is one who hires his services out by the day. |

In the 1891 my grandfather was shown as Journeyman Baker, by 1901 he was Master Baker - so in that sense he was learning his job. Jan. |

The term Journeyman is also used within the present day boxing game to describe a boxer who has basically gone as far as he can in his professional career, but will still get in the ring and go twelve rounds with a more able boxer. As Pros, they get paid for the fight, but there must be easier ways of earning a living. these guys would fit in with Rosamary's second description of Journeyman. Terry |

A journeyman was someone who had served his apprenticeship. He was then expected to travel around offering his services. After a period of years he would become a Master Craftsman and train apprentices himself. Oh if only we had kept it up we would still have Craftsmen instead of Jack of All Trades with electric tools and a tube of glue. Jim |

I think it comes from the French word Journee, meaning daily. |
