Pretty easily, yeah. Customer tells me in advance what goods they want, and pay a little extra for me to buy the goods for them and meet at a dropoff point so they have more time to do... whatever people did in 1700... play video games?

I help shops with their inventory.

I work in a trade school and apprenticeship has been around for ages so I think it would translate. I would just say that I help teach apprentices along with their masters, specifically about boats and ships.

Yes. We do it using computers now, so a lot of what I do is more database management but the basic method we use for accounting has been around since before the year of our lord 1300. All the stuff we do is just to make it possible to do at scale.

Not hard. I accept money and give it out on behalf of my Lords and Ladies, I mean, employers.
