Answer 1
Hosea's occupation was a call to the ministry for the purpose of turning the people back to God from their evil ways. He ministry was that of a prophet to the nation of Israel.
There was a problem of how to get the people to listen and the unique way God chose to demonstrate His love for them was to let Hosea, the Prophet, be "his own sermon" by marrying an immoral woman, to love her and have children with her and when she "strayed" to bring her back home.
His wife's name was Gomer, and Hosea, by showing his own love for her, demonstrated the kind of love God had for His people, Israel.
Answer 2
Hosea's occupation is never actually discussed in the verses and it would not be viable to live in Ancient Israel as a prophet without a trade for a livelihood. There is a difference between prophets and clergy in that the latter have consistent congregations, salaries, accept donations, etc. Preaching the word alone would not provide enough to eat.
