Peter and his brother Andrew were fishermen.
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.
Matthew (also known as Levi) was a tax collector for the Roman occupiers.
Simon the Zealot was a political activist, although that was not his 'profession' as such.
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.

What was the teaching of the 12 apostles about the nature of Jesus?

The first one to describe Jesus was John the Baptizer, son of Zechariah and Elizabeth. John began his preaching in the wilderness of Juda, saying : Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. " Read Matthew 3: 1, 2. John being sent was the a manifestation of God's loving kindness toward the Jews. They were the covenant relationship with Jehovah God but were guilty of sins committed against the Law covenant. John brought to their attention that they had broken the covenant, and he urged honesthearted ones to repentance. Their water baptism symbolized this repentance. Then they were in line to recognize the Messiah. Read Acts 19:4. So to answer your question concerning the teaching of John the Baptizer and the 12 apostles, it was repentance and reconciliation with God. 2 Corinthians 5: 18,19 reads: " God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of the reconciliation. God by means of Christ reconciling a world to himself, not counting their offenses against them, and he entrusted to us the message of the reconciliation. Read Romans 5: 11; 11: 15. Jesus' nature was the imitatation God's qualities which is : love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. Read Galatians 5: 22,23
