I'd get some low paid, happy job, I reckon I could last.

There ain't no such thing!!! Why do well paid people always assume those of us in a low paid job are happy? I'm only working part time for low pay because I need to fit my job around other priorities, it certainly doesn't make me 'happy' that I can no longer work full time in a higher paid job.

Apologies. What I mean't was, I'd get a job I was happy with, no matter what the pay was.:beer:
