The old school nativity play.

Those kids who played Mary or Joseph were more likely to be a high earner. However, the child who took on the role of the Ox now has the fattest wage of about €50,000 a year.
The Sun reports that the study by Virgin Media’s Christmas Stars competition looked at 2,000 adults across the UK and found that the Marys were most likely to be content as adults. 92% of them said they were happy in their jobs. Meanwhile, the Josephs were also fairly content with their profession - 91% of them said they were satisfied with life.
