Can vASsles reTurn?

Were going back to Midevil Days now. Today I'm talking about the Vassal system.

The Vassal system was used with the Lords and Knights of the time. Vassals were like students, They lived and fought with their lord or master. Learning through experience, Vassals learned Through there master and only could be taught what was known by their Master. While this may seem limiting, their are a few things to keep in mind. The master Trained every day and learned as he taught his vassal. The Vassal wasn't taught things the Master didn't know so everything the Vassal learned, He learned right.

Most know the general ranks through Knighthood. Lord, Knight, Page, Squire. The Lord is always a master, and the Squire is always a Vassal. Knights are almost always Masters but are Always Vassals to their Lord or the King. Pages on the other hand are more often Vassals but if from a rich family they may have their own vassals. *being the squires*
Beginning Vassals do more grunt work that actual Knight work. cooking, cleaning, preparing the Masters bath and such. As they gain their masters Respect and prove themselves they earn more responsibilities. until they begin honest training. Once the vassal has shown his skill to the Master, the Master will start giving the Vassal honest knight job, and work with the Master.

Over time this system evolved into apprenticeship. Limiting it the Ranks to Master and Vassal. the system worked in all professions. Craftsman, Sword maker, Miner, Baker, Farmer, anything and everything could use this system. The Master would find an Apprentice and start them with the Grunt work. until they start training them, and give them jobs of there own. Simpler jobs would go to the vassal while the master would take harder jobs. This system Truely prepared people to be a Master of their profession *literally*

In Todays society we try to prepare everyone with enough skill to do anything they want, or in other words try to make everyone be able to do everything. Thats alot to be asked of dont you agree? Most people find their one job *career* to stick with and work with that for long enough to be a Master of it. but by then we are at the end of our lives. instead of being half way done and ready to train someone else.

Thats why i belive we need to bring this system back. It raises the quality of life in general, Tasks and services are preformed at a better quality becuase more time and effort is spend perfecting the art. Kids hate school and this would limit the need of school. While some classes are needed like Math Science English and History. and Health would be a class everyone takes when they hit 13. Thats all we'd need, Scholars would continue education and have more classes. but all in all once you have a Master you are trained the skill that will get you through the rest of your life

This can even help with povertie and homelessness, becuase the Master feeds and houses the Apprentice and teaches them a skill they can use for the rest of their life. that will help get people off the street. They could find a master and learn a skill, Masters wont be picky with who they choose becuase the point of an apprentice is to teach, they can know nothing of the skill but still be a good aprentice.

This is a system that was around during the renesuance witch had some of our greatest minds of history. If this system worked for them, It can work for us.
