Not unless the job itself is an offense to God / a danger to a person's soul.
You can be a toilet cleaner, a librarian, a teacher, a nurse, anything, so long as it's not a sin.
But if you are working in a strip joint, as a prostitute, an escort, etc, then you may need to SERIOUSLY consider a career change.

I am not sure that being a door-to-door dildo salesman would go over well at service on Sunday. Unless you gave a lot to the church!
Selling crystal meth and a trip up Hershey Road to vulnerable evangelical preachers is also frowned upon, I hear.

I'd say yes, it matters.
If I believe in God, then He tells me to try to do and live the way He has outlined to the best of my ability. That means I would avoid being a bartender, porn shop clerk, etc.

Yes some jobs are intrinsically evil. Manufacturing weapons for example, because weapons are made for a single purpose, to kill

well, if your job is a serial killer, i'm sure he would have serious issues with that. i think he would be lenient with being something like a prositute. as long as you aren't intentionally hurting people, i think it doesn't matter what you do.
