Did Jesus do any work or occupation before his earthly ministry?

What was Joseph's job before he married Mary?
Speaking of Jesus' "foster" father, Joseph... The Bible merely tells us that he was a "carpenter" [Matt.13:55]. The occupation which Joseph taught to his son, Jesus:"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary..." (Mark 6:3).The occupation of the father often became that of his children, usually resulting in a "family business." In the case of a "carpenter"... it didn't entail the processed forestry products that we think of as carpentry-related, today.Joseph's occupation was probably more in keeping with "home construction"... or "construction contracting." Archeological digs have revealed more "stone" used throughout Judaea for home building than wood, with huge wooden beams used for roof and second-story support.Limestone was a readily available material quarried in Judaea... and evident in archeological finds of many Middle East cities for generations.Mark 6:3 reveals that Jesus had four step-brothers and at least two step-sisters... all of whom were probably involved [along with their mother] in the "family construction business" of their [now dead] father, Joseph.It's evident that the family business was quite successful. Since Jesus, besides inheriting by birthright his father, Joseph's home in Nazareth thus, becoming the head of his father's household, there -- He also owned a large house in the upper-crust city of Capernaum, north of Nazareth, that the "successful" family business probably built and paid for."...when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home." (Mark 2:1 NIV)We read of Jesus spending more time at home in Capernaum, the preferred residence of doctors, lawyers and a certain Roman centurion [who knew of Jesus -- Luke 7:1-3]... as well as Jesus, Himself, than in Nazareth throughout the gospels. Which is a testimony to the success and blessings of God on the occupation of Joseph the carpenter and his family.

Why was Joseph not king at the time when Jesus was born?
The author of Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, seems not evn to have known that Joseph was the earthly father of Jesus. Some have speculated that a tradition quickly grew that Jesus' father was called Joseph because Joseph of Arimathea, who was of course unrelated, took the responsibility of a father to bury Jesus after the crucifixion. However none of the gospels mentions Joseph except as the father of Jesus.Some have speculated that this silence means that Joseph died soon after the birth of Jesus, or at least soon after the birth of his other children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus. A few scholars, noting the absence of any mention of Joseph in Mark, are uncertain whether he really existed. The other gospel writers relied directly or indirectly on Mark for everything they knew about the life of Jesus, and would appear to have had no other source on which they could base this information, apart from newly created tradition.
