Merchant. profession is described as "Anyway in which you earn money to live" and money wasn't even used, it was around 5000 BC that metal objects were used as money. In the old time people farmed and hunted to make food to eat but then merchants from Mesopotamia started to buy food from the farmers and setup markets to sell it so people who cannot grow or hunt their food they were able to get their food.
