Karl marx job Karl Marx never held a regular job. Marx started out to be a college professor, but his ideas were rejected. He also tried publishing newspapers, but every one soon folded, and the same went with committees he tried to organize. Most of his life was devoted to writing, and studying as subjects interested him, while he lived on contributions from Engels, or others who supported Marx's ideas.
