7 alternative careers Harry potter could have had besides being an Auror

1. Quidditch coach. He played it in college, he's got agility, he's got talent, and worth ethics aren't too bad. And he has experience teaching people shit and leading, in general. He could most definitely become a coach for quidditch.
   
   
2. Personal secretary to the minister of magic. He's had experience inside the ministry. He knows the minister quite intimately. He's dealt with many major ministry-related issues. He could most certainly be a decent secretary to his wife, as long as he developed proper scheduling and note-taking skills.
   
   
3. Teacher at Hogwarts. We know the standards for teaching at harvard Hogwarts aren't too high, they'll make just anybody a teacher as long as they like you. And as a recent-ish alum, he must be absolutely adored by the younger witches and wizards. Who better than him to train them defence against mean people, or some important shit as such.
   
   
4. Custodian at hogwarts: If things are rough in the potter household, possibly because he was recently dumped by his wife and he quit his job because it'd be too weird working for her no way his ego could take that, and hogwarts got a competent headmaster who actually looked for qualifications before making important hiring decisions, he would most definitely still make it as a custodian slash groundskeeper. He knows all the secret passageways, the exciting rooms, tricks and tips that students use to avoid authority. He'd be the baddest ass of all custodians. I'd pay good money to read this series. A has-been who's turned into a comedic goofballs getting into ridiculous situations. A sad-sack.
   
   
5. A banker at the wizarding bank. Rich dude. Check. White. Check. Well-known family, check. Good schooling. Check. Great connections in the wizarding society, check. He's the perfect  candidate to get into banking, he can figure out the details of the day-to-day banking work from goblins, if he ever happens to need them.
   
   
6. Muggles liaison officer: For obvious reasons, thanks to his experience of growing up with muggles, having a muggle wife, and his muggle-loving friends.
   
   
7. Operator of a wizarding sex hotline. Role-playing as himself. For obvious reasons.
