Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession of the world. I have come to realise that it has a very close resemblance to the first one. amirite?

Maybe I'm just dumb but my guess is there were farmers before prostitutes.

@empires Well, technically hunters.

probably by job the saying means paid for?

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I was wondering if hunters/farmers got paid in any way in the first place.

well i guess farmers and hunters did that for subsistence and not for trade.. Its quite difficult to debate on that subject..

Yes, but the grave diggers were joking around and said that. it'd have to be the first job because what else would they do with the dead?

What happened to hunters and gatherers?

(Here and gone): as i said before its just a saying that prostitution is the oldest profession..and the post relies on that aspect.. but if you want to debate about the fact IF it was the first job then hunters and gatherers would fit in because prostitutes are usually women that offer sexual services in exchange of money or some kind of gratification.. Hunters and gatherers were part of a social institution whereby they needed to bring food mainly as a part of their role for their group and hence did not really hunt or gather as a job but rather as an 'activity'. Prostitution is really something old even if it may not be theoretically the first profession. Study of the ruins at pompei even revealed that brothels was part of the community there. And pompei is very old.. I can't even believe what i have just written here :)
