What were the jobs of the Twelve Disciples?

We only know the "occupations" of five or six of the Apostles (the 12 Disciples). Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John (the sons of Zebedee) where all fishermen; Matthew was a tax collector. Simon was known as "the Zealot"; this was likely his "occupation." The Bible is silent on the occupations of the rest of the Apostles -- the other James, Judas, Phillip, Thomas, Batholomew (also known as Nathan), and Thaddeus (some scholars believe that Thaddeus was also known as Jude). The 12 disciples didn't have "jobs" in that sense. A job is when you're paid for your work, while the 12 disciples' work with Jesus was voluntary. They, each in turn, were all called by Jesus himself to follow him. They were asked, not forced. Therefore they had a choice between whether to ditch their lives and follow Jesus or keep their lives as they were. Even though some disciples had more to say with Jesus (e.g., Peter), they all had the same rank ... in a weird sort of way. You could call their tasks, what Jesus asked them to do, jobs. You could say that it was the ''job'' of 1 of Jesus' trusted disciples to betray him on the night of the last supper. You could say it was Simon/Peter's ''job'' to be Jesus' rock, on which he would build his church.

The jobs of the disciples were very different, if you're talking about their jobs before they dropped everything and followed Jesus. Some were doctors, some were fishermen.
