A thought about Lupin

I just had a thought about Lupin and would like some feedback on it, 
if you please. Forgive me if this matter was discussed before.

There has been speculation in past threads about what Lupin is up to 
*off page*. We know, for the most part, where he was at and what he 
was doing in PoA and most of OotP and HBP but the rest of the time his 
movements are a big blank. We know from canon that he has trouble 
finding work in the WW because of his lycanthropy. JKR has stated that 
Lupin has a muggle parent.

Could Lupin - out of desperation to make a living - have spent that 
time passing as a muggle and working at a muggle job? He could work a 
few weeks at a job and then quit when the time of the full moon was on 
him. I don't know about other professions, but I use to work in food 
service and I saw many people get hired, work a few days or weeks, and 
then quit without notice and disapear. It would be a sad and transient 
life, but he seems to be living that kind of life already.

This leads to the question - what muggle job would he have the 
knowledge to do? Or, could he magic his way through like Shackelbolt 
seems to do while he is working in the PM's office?

Just a thought.

Cheers, Dondee
