Tradesmen in countries such as Germany are required to fulfill a formal apprenticeship (usually three years) to work as a professional carpenter. Upon graduation from the apprenticeship, he or she is known as a journeyman carpenter. Up through the 19th and even the early 20th century, the journeyman traveled to another region of the country to learn the building styles and techniques of that area before (usually) returning home. In modern times, journeymen are not required to travel, and the term refers more to a level of proficiency and skill. Union carpenters in the United States are required to pass a skills test to be granted official journeyman status, but uncertified professional carpenters may be known as journeymen based on their skill level, years of experience, or simply because they support themselves in the trade, and not due to any certification or formal woodworking education.

an apprentice goes through a formal training program while they work under a Journeyman carpenter.....goes that way for most union careers. A journeyman in any field is an expert, an apprentice is in training!

The answer is not a singular one. The wage rates vary based upon a number of factors. I am a consulting engineer, not a carpenter, so in providing bid estimates for customers, we use a data set that takes in to count the following items that have influence. Union or non union rate, Where in the world is the work performed? ( big $ effect), 4 yrs exp could mean lead, with an apprentice or not, also significant effect. Commercial or residential has an effect. Go to your library or bookstore and get a job cost estimate book. RSMeans is a widely used source. Find the correct book for "General Trades", then find your city multiplier, find your job description multiplier, then find the general rate for grade (apprentice, journeyman, lead etc).

depends on what kind of training program you were working with.
usually to be a journeyman you have to spend four years as an apprentice working under a qualified journeyman while he does an approved training program for you. if you are trying to be a union carpenter you will have to have documented training to prove you have served your apprenticeship.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/T0OSg
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
