All Artisans learn their trades by taking an apprenticeship. As apprentices, they learn the skills necessary to their profession, earning their keep in the meantime. Sadly, in all too many cases, they also work long hours for little reward and are given all the unpleasant, menial jobs to do, and they may be unlucky enough to have an ill-tempered, drunken, or incompetent master. Apprentices who leave their masters before completing their apprenticeship have no trade by which to support themselves and many may become vagabonds or adventurers for want of any other way to make a living.
