In the Middle Ages, most people were farmers.

Many people were laborers. There were all sorts of jobs, just as there were in later times, ranging from fishing to masonry, or from road building to baking bread.

There were merchants all through the Middle Ages, though there were not very many early on.

Some were lawyers, physicians, architects, or alchemists.

Some were soldiers, knights, or lords.

Some people were monks, nuns, or priests.

Some people were story tellers, musicians, or actors.

There were many other ways for people to support themselves. There is a link below to a related question on jobs.

What is the modern myth about bathing in the middle ages?

There is a widespread belief that people did not bathe in the Middle Ages. This myth arises because bathing went out of practice during the Renaissance, when people worried that it was unhealthy and rich people could afford perfume. Since we have a tendency to regard the Renaissance as a period of improvement, we often ascribe anything about it that was unpleasant to the Middle Ages. During most of the Middle Ages, however, people regarded cleanliness as next to godliness, and kept themselves very clean. There is a link below.
