An apprentice was someone (Usually quite young, 10-16) who worked with a man of an established trade (blacksmithing, carpentry, etc.) and lived and worked with them for a period of time before they would be released to start on their own or be hired by and payed by the craftsman.

Baking apprenticeships were usually limited to males, between 4 and 7 years. Durning this time, the boy was the only responsibility of the master. The apprentice lived and worked full time at the bakery. In exchange, the master provided clothes and a basic standard of living and health.

An apprentice was a person who was learning a trade. They usually started at about age seven or eight, and continued until they were about twenty or twenty one. They would start by doing simple chores, like sweeping and cleaning up, and gradually progress in the trade they were learning until they finished this part of their education and became journeymen.

As journeymen, they earned more, were much more independent, and could work on a "masterpiece," which would be judged to determine master status. As masters, they could be full guild members.
