A trader could also be a carpenter, blacksmith, hunter, butcher, first aider, cook, harvester, or anything like that too. Don't just pigeon hole people to stick to one skill as all they have.
Underestimate and you could lead to a hell of a problem.
Just because I'm into my fitness, I can still shoot well. Ask SD, or any of the farmers I shoot for. I can also butcher, and do some pretty good first aid (self experimentation of course helps improve the skills for this one haha).
Having 1 skill does not mean that's your ONLY skills.
If a person can make a bow, it does not mean they can't use the bow.
Traders, or entrepreneurs, are jacks of many trades, in my experience.
