After Adam and Eve got booted from Paradise for some highly illegal snacking, our entire civilization's job market essentially got a kickstart. I mean, they had one rule—one!—and they still managed to blow it spectacularly.
So, out they went, and that's when humanity's job search officially began. Suddenly, we had to start earning a living, literally by the sweat of our brows. We were given this incredible knack for developing a wide range of skills to get by. Some folks became farmers, getting their paycheck from the dirt. Others were shepherds, managing a herd of woolly clients. Then you had the builders and craftsmen, basically the contractors of the ancient world, putting their skills to work to meet the "supply and demand" needs of the day. And it's been that way ever since.
