I am not sure I would call it a vocation, exactly. At
least, it is not like these people are pursuing something as a job. But if you are
using the term "vocation" in the sense that a priest or a nun is said to have a vocation
-- as a higher calling to do something, I guess it makes
sense.
Anyway, what these people are doing is wandering
around until (they hope) they get a chance to reform society. They have each memorized
a book or a part of a book. This is their vocation -- to keep that book "alive" until
they get the chance to share that book with their society after their society has
changed enough to allow that.
So I suppose their vocation
is memorizing books in an attempt to have the chance to renew and remake their society
some time in the future.
