Do we really don’t have anything older before it that counts as a paid service/job being registered?

    It’s hard for me to believe that hunter / food seeker isn’t the oldest profession… But it’s definitely up there.

      What’s the last time you met a gatherer doing it as a profession and not a hobby?

      Hunters are a little bit more common, but still, full time food hunters are rare.

      Prostitutes on the other hand.

      So as a simple saying used in a daily life, I can kinda see why it’s used :)
