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?

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.
