Why is prostitution called sometimes world's oldest profession?
Do we really don't have anything older before it that counts as a paid service/job being registered?

That would make hunting/gathering the oldest profession, so that you have something you can trade for sex.
It depends on whether you're considering "a profession" to be something that someone does to gain goods/services/"value" from another person, or from nature.
So a farmer isn't a profession?
If the hunter/gather is trading food for sex, then they are doing to gain services from another person.
