If Jesus had been a better carpenter, would he have needed to get into show business?

Hey I work with a lot of actors. I understand they must keep their day job until things click. My concern here is three fold.

Why would Jesus have given up an honest trade in order to become a poor homeless man hated by his own people?
(apparently he knew this would happen from the beginning)

If he was a carpenter, why is there no mention in the bible of him actually working his trade?
(apparently his only experience with nails was a very bad one)

What would a dining room table be worth today if it was known to be constructed by Jesus?
(there must be some antique artifact constructed by the master carpenter)

This is NOT Jesus bashing! Everybody knows I love Jesus. I just have a few legitimate questions about him that are not addressed in the bible.
