James and his brother John were sons of Zebedee who was himself a fisherman, and who they would have carried on with that trade after their father.

It is believed that Judas Iscariot (the one who betrayed Jesus) was possibly involved in monetary matters (an early type of 'banker' or 'accountant') as he was the purse-keeper for the disciples.
As for the other five, the other Judas, the other James, Philip, Batholemew (also known as Thaddaeus) and Thomas no-one knows as their jobs are not mentioned in The Bible and there is insufficient evidence to speculate as to what they might have been.
