RE: How Jesus became a carpenter

According to what I understand Jesus was a "teckton", which translates literally to "builder". If one was to translate the bible literally, he couldn't say that Jesus was a carpenter for sure, although he could have been. The idea that he was a carpenter came from writings of some of the early church fathers, and is therefore part of christian tradition. I'm not aware of any other bible verses which would lead to the conclusion that he was specifically a carpenter. Of course, the scholars who were involved in the development of the numerous english translations are more educated in this matter than I am. To me it doesn't matter.
