It depends on if you think teaching is a job.

If you do, then his job was teaching. Although he wasn't a teacher like teachers today, he created and taught at his school, Crotone, in Italy. He also had his special circle of privileged students who were sworn to secrecy and he reveled to them his "Pythagorean Theorem".

If you don't, then he did not have a job. He did not get paid to teach students, so he did not have a regular income of money, but in his situation, he didn't need money, for his students would get him whatever he would need ,like food.

I, personally, think that he did have a job, it was just not the usual type. But it changes based on how you look at what Pythagoras did.
