A fisherman, carpenter & sheperd. Or did he just have trouble holding a job?

Do you mean Jesus, the amalgamation of mythological characters?

Both the cost of living and wages were different back then. But he only had only job, being a carpenter. The fisherman and shepard titles were more figurative in use - ways to describe how to bring people to God.
Actually he had an easy time holding his job - that's why he walked from town to town. He wasn't the type of carpenter to set up shop in a town and stay. Most towns and villages were quite small back then so work was scarce. So to keep work coming in, he travelled around. So the myth that he dropped carpentery and went into ministry is wrong. The truth is he kept his day job and on the Sabbath would teach about God's word, Torah.

He wasn't a fisherman or shepherd. Just a Carpenter.
The others show His seeking the lost capabilities.
