We don't know much about his profession and income at the time of where the " Mr. Bean " TV series was recorded (1990-1995).
In the " Bean " film, he has worked as a guard at London's National Gallery (1997).
Maybe he already got the job before back in 1990?
Maybe.
Currently, he turned a Youtuber where he does some silly things, like making some real strange tutorials and bringing out some new crazy records .
He promote some well-priced merchandise products like T-shirts and also website creation with Wix .
Not to mention the income from the commercials posts blend in at each video.
That's probably enough to make a nice living in his flat in Highbury.

One of the funny things about Bean is that, as weird as he is, he is at times incredibly competent .
For example, in this clip he measures a hole in the wall basically by eyeballing it, and later when he cuts a patch, the patch is precisely correct .
It fits perfectly.
So while I don't know exactly what his job is (and I imagine it changes from time to time as he screws things up), it appears he does indeed possess useful skills.

Mr. Bean also had a stint as a politician, once being elected a Member of Parliament for the independent "Bean" party.
A few other sketches hint at other possible jobs - in the first episode, "Mr Bean", he is attending a maths exam, possibly hinting at a need to gain a maths qualification for some reason.
In the unaired sketch "The Library" he is copying a page from a rare tome in a library.
Of course, these could both be simply other interests of his rather than related to work.

In The Royal Premiere (Episode 2, Act 3), Mister Bean is shown to work at a prestigious cinema.
Though it's unlikely he kept that job after headbutting the queen.
