Sorry for taking so long to reply; e-groups failed to mail me any of the relevant messages - it was only when I saw recent replies to this thread I realised it existed :-(

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Many of the knight, wizard and noble keywords are
very similar to those of lower class. Thus, you may be a fishmerman as
a member of the Farmer class, then a sailor when you become a soldier,
and eventually an admiral when you join the nobility. So there are
clear routes through the classes (which, as a hero, you can ignore if
you want), and you may retain links to your former professions, even
though, theoretically you're doing a new job and have an Advanced
Occupation keyword to reflect it (all knight, wizard and noble
keywords are Advanced).
