Jeremiah was called to be a prophet before he was born. In Jeremiah 1:6 it is written, "Ah, Soverign Lord," I said. "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

This tells us that he was young when he began being a prophet.

His father was Hilkiah who was a priest. Jeremiah probably had no occupation due to his young age and helping his father with his priestly duties. The Bible makes no mention of an occupation.

Jeremiah was a prophet in ancient Israel, called by God to deliver messages of warning and repentance to the people. He did not have a specific secular occupation, as his primary role was to communicate divine revelations and guidance to the people.
