Why was Jesus a carpenter?

I was thinking about God as a worker. He created universe. He created because creating brought Him glory and it was His good pleasure. God enjoyed creating. God enjoys His works of creation. God enjoys work.

God chose to become incarnate in the family of a poor carpenter. Jesus was most likely trained to be a carpenter. God is omnipotent; He could have chose any profession and He chose carpentry. Why? Why did the profession of carpentry bring Him the most pleasure as a young man? Things to ponder.
