Important jobs in ancient Egypt included soldiers, scribes, artists, and peasants. Most jobs were inherited. If your father was a farmer, so were you. 

Anyone, however, 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.  In ancient Egypt, everything was written down, especially lists. Scribes were in high demand. Good scribes could work their way up, all the way to Pharaoh's court.
