Professional family dynasty existed almost from the day of the transformation of APE to man. Or perhaps a little later. In the wild tribes still maintained a strict family division: one engaged in hunting, others by agriculture. In the middle ages and imagine there was no way that Tanner, for example, became a Cooper or a pastry chef.

A talented carpenter, firefighter or steelworker may be incompetent successor of the profession? A successful businessman mediocre heir? Completely.
