3 Months of Service
I think they probably meant slave trading. This is a paid profession. In those days, before it was amke illegal, slave trading was a very common business. Buying and selling people for slaves. These days it is criminal and no longer legally practiced.
Thievery is still called "a profession." a criminal profession, where people make countless money from crime. There is a thing called career criminal, though, yeah, its not legal like banking or labor work ect..
I would suggest prostitution could be at least as old as any profession, because where there is males there is hornyness and women to offer their services. Even before the massive empires were thought of. I'm sure cavemen even hired out their women for a bonk at times lol. Though maybe it was not profession back then. Who knows? men and their penises love a good screw and they don't mind pay for it.
I wold suggest kidnapping and slave trading s businesses are much newer than prostitution because men need sex more than they do jut about most things other than warmth and food.
Anyhow, that my useless piece of trash talk to add as suggestion lol
It all depends how you define a profession and how you view paid work" what your concept is I guess.
