The old story is that he got in trouble for poaching game and had to run away to avoid the law, but that is now almost totally discredited. He became a husband and father at an unusually young age and before he was established in a trade. He may have been dissatisfied with the prospect of tanning leather all his life and thought (as many people have over the years) that more opportunities would open up in the city.

It was a job. Probably it was the job he moved to London to pursue.

It was a job. He could do it, he made money at it, and that was good because that way he could support his family. He probably enjoyed it too, or he would have looked for another job.

What company did Shakespeare become involved with by 1594?

The Lord Chamberlain's Men was an acting company formed in 1594. William Shakespeare was one of its charter members. Most of its partners had previously been partners in other acting companies, particularly Lord Strange's Men, which had gone broke due to the long theatre closures in 1593-4. Apparently this was not true of Shakespeare; as far as we can tell this was the first time he was a partner in an acting company.
