Important jobs in ancient Egypt included soldiers, scribes, artists, and peasants. Most jobs were inherited. If your father was a farmer, so were you. But there were some exceptions to the inherited job tradition. Anyone, for example, could become an artist if they had exceptional talent. But most artists inherited their job from their father. Another exception was a scribe. Anyone could learn to be a scribe if they had the talent. Learning to be a script was a complicated process. Scribes went to scribe school. Most who attended did not pass the course. Those who passed the course were in high demand. In ancient Egypt, everything was written down. The ancient Egyptians loved lists - lists of goods in the storehouse to lists of flowers in the garden. Good scribes could work their way up the social ladder, all the way up to Pharaoh's court.
