Perhaps the traders could have apprentices you could hire. They would be about as rare as quests are right now, and would cost 1000 coins to hire. They would have all the trades of their master, but you  could also teach them one trade they don't have by taking them to another trader and leaving them with the trader for a time. This would cost 500 coins.
