In the country of Laxci on the continent Eanith there is a profession that many look down upon and ignore it. This profession is a Pipe cleaner. While this is a necessary profession like taking care of the dead, and janitorial services. It is ignored and forgotten by most. The pipe cleaner’s job is to clean, clear, maintain pipes, replace, and build new ones. They take care of all the pipes for the city large and small. The water pipes, the sanitary pipes, and any others that are around to carry different materials.
While being a pipe cleaner in the eyes of the public is not the best work, however, the benefits are very good and it pays very well.
Becoming a pipe cleaner is a relatively short process. Apprentice is the first part. At this point, there is not a lot of hands-on work. Apprentices are learning the types of pipes, what they carry, and the rules and regulations of the government. The next step is a journeyman. This is where the apprentices put into action what they have learned. They work under a tradesman or fully licensed. They spend at least a year here. Next, they move to tradesman. This is just more learning and work experience. They are continuing to work under fully licensed and may have a journeyman working with them. Finally, there is the fully licensed. A fully licensed usually has a team that they work with especially if they are in a government contract. This team will have a mix of other fully licensed, tradesmen and journeymen. If they have a private contract their team for the most part usually all become fully licensed until they start teaching a new group.
