In response to Jebbers previoust post: the concept of journeyman in Britain and Germany are in a way similar. a journeyman would have to gain experience and capital in order to become a master and set up his own bakery shop. He would have to work in different bakeries to gain experience to master his trade, the only difference being that during the Industrial Period the guild system had disappeared in Britain as well as the rules and regulations that went with it, which required that individuals made a journeyman trip, among other things, and delivered a final 'master piece' in order for them to be accepted as masters. Remnants of the guild system lasted well into 19th and early 20th century in Germany.
