Guild/Class Idea

[My 2 sids]

If I am to understand this concept correctly its saying that pcs would be able to wait for the opportunity to present itself (being offered a job lets say) before choosing a guild. What a great idea!  Arm has always stressed how choosing a guild shouldn't restrict a pc's occupation and this seems like a wonderful way to avoid confusion all together.  

I realize a PC's guild reflects their background, however I'd like to point out this is a double standard.  We don't allow background information to come into play with stats or skill levels so A.  we need to allow pcs to start out on different levels based on their personal background or B.  we can assume that a basic understanding of how to do things (cook, sew, hunt, tinker, fight, etc) belongs in all backgrounds (thus nullifying the argument of spending 'years of study').
