Oh, I just read the comment on what you were looking for here. Here is my answer: A grunt A fiddler A tinkerer A hack A hacker A rag picker A novice (nice, friendly - a beginner) A good for nothing (derogatory) A slacker (generally not-employed but my be) A blue collar worker (no degree required for employment) A Hic (southern / derogatory) A slave A work-a-day Joe.

A gofer [ goes to do this and that]

A dogsbody, or less commonly dog robber in the Royal Navy, is a junior officer, or more generally someone who does drudge work. A rough American equivalent would be a "gofer", "scutpuppy", or "grunt". I got that from Wikipedia, so it must be correct, eh?

Deleted because I chose to post again, sorry.

grunt.
