After watching the last Harry Potter movie I can't help but wonder...What the hell is the unemployment rate looking like in the wizarding world?
Maybe this is one of those cases where reading the books comes in handy, but the movies never explained exactly what Hogwarts graduates go on to do after school. My thought is that eight years without studying math, foreign language and computers would probably put them at a disadvantage. Magic is cool, but, unless there's a spell that can turn paper clips into rent money, I don't see a bright future for most of them.
I'm certain that Harry will land on his feet. At worst, he'll just do a bunch of lecturing tours and maybe write a book (or seven) about his crazy middle and high school years. But people like "random Black boy #3" who sat eight or nine yards away from Harry every dinner scene...what will become of him? I guess the sanitation and trash removal sector could use a guy like him. Lord knows they devoted an insane amount of screen time showing how good those Hogwartians are with a broom.
