Career Progression

A child chooses or is chosen to be the next bodydigger, then he follows around the bodydigger, whenever someone dies and learns the tricks of the trade. As long as the bodydigger is out of work, or when the apprentice is fully qualified, he works in different trades and later takes up his position as a bodydigger, when the last one dies.
