Generally deliberately avoided by Christians, who will all say ,"he was a carpenter", for which there is absolutely no proof. For certain he spent considerable time with esoteric cults, and displays influences of Essene and similar mystery school initiations. If he was of a priestly royal lineage (house of David) he would have been groomed long term, into the role that was expected of him, which in practical terms meant religious instruction and the forming of supportive networks for his ultimately unsuccessful insurrection against Roman rule. The notion of the humble carpenter is fiction.

He is mentioned at 12- he was in Jerusalem with his family, and got left behind for a couple of days because he was at the temple discussing scriptures with the religious leaders.
I would imagine he did all the same things other people did at that time: he learned the carpentry trade from Joseph and helped out with the family tasks, since he was the oldest and had several younger siblings. He just lived like everyone else, except he was perfect.
What he did between 12 and 30 is obviously not that important, since it wasn't included in the scriptures. But I don't see why his upbringing would have been so unusual.

I believe he followed in his step dads footsteps and was a carpenter, he then turned 30 and followed in his own fathers line of work. Dont we all change careers at least 4 times in our lifetime. If he lived longer, gods knows what he would have done? Excuse the pun

There is scripture where Jesus as a young boy disappeared from his parents. They went looking for him and found him teaching in a synagogue. This happened well before his baptism from John the Baptist.

provide your self wholeheartedly to Christ for 6 months.I mean lay your music aside and all aspirations of being in any type of ministry.Lay aside any life type that hinders a Christ like life.do not watch television,do not pay attention to the radio.learn God's observe in all your unfastened time, and then meditate on what you have examine.you may desire to advance into advance right into a servant first to God and all it particularly is holy. My journey,I performed music too for twenty plus years.Felt as you probably did,that i replaced into doing the right 'element 'as quickly as I used music for God's glory.in spite of the shown fact that,after doing what I merely inspired you to do, i stumbled on that God had no intentions of me utilising 'music' for His Glory,in spite of the shown fact that it replaced right into a glory of myself and what i might desire to do on an tool.once you basically dive into God's observe and be conscious it on your life,you will see the errors of right this moment's so stated as worship music.Ther new testomony by no potential talks of utilising gadgets in worship interior the authentic church,It says to sing and make melody on your coronary heart.Your ministry is to be like anyone it particularly is a real christian.you're to witness to human beings via the life you reside,and to have the skill to offer an answer to those which might ask why you have such excitement and need in life.Paul says a youthful guy should not be appointed to the ministry lest he advance into prideful in his babies.He desires time of maturing interior the Lord earlier God will use him in this way of vogue.babies ministers in todays church homes are blind leaders .Thats why you have worldy church homes right this moment fairly of Godly,holy and organic church homes with out spot or wrinkle.Be very careful in what you think of you may desire to be doing,you would be in charge to God for each observe you practice to a various below you.

He grew in wisdom and stature in the eyes of the world and God.
He did not have any brothers or sisters, because Jesus was unique. When he died on the cross he gave his mother in the keeping of John. his mother would have been looked after by any other children if she had any, and she did not. He would have learned carpentry like Joseph.

We don't know what he did. We don't know because God did not put it into the scriptures. He did not put it into the scriptures because it was not important. Because it had no effect on us. Other than being a normal kid, growing up, spilling milk on his baby sister and learning to be a carpenter later on, we don't know.

The general understanding is he would have followed in Joseph's footsteps. In reality we don't really know because does not tell us.
