The author told someone in an interview, but I missed it.
Does anyone else think it's stupid that in a set of books about someones life and what happens to them, that this was left out, or am I over thinking this whole thing?
JKR revealed what happened to some of the main characters (including their careers) in her webchat with fans -
Katieleigh: Does Hermione still continue to do work with spew and is life any better for house elves?
J.K. Rowling: Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She then moved (despite her jibe to Scrimgeour) to the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she was a progressive voice who ensured the eradication of oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
Blodeuwedd: Hi JK, first of all thank you for all the books I have enjoyed each and every one of them could you tell us what professions Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna go on to have?
J.K. Rowling: Thank you! I've already answered about Hermione. Kingsley became permanent Minister for Magic, and naturally he wanted Harry to head up his new Auror department. Harry did so (just because Voldemort was gone, it didn't mean that there would not be other Dark witches and wizards in the coming years). Ron joined George at Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, which became an enormous money-spinner. After a few years as a celebrated player for the Holyhead Harpies, Ginny retired to have her family and to become the Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet! Luna became a very famous wizarding naturalist who discovered and classified many new species of animals (though, alas, she never did find a Crumple-Horned Snorkack and had, finally, to accept that her father might have made that one up). She ended up marrying (rather later than Harry & co) a fellow naturalist and grandson of the great Newt Scamander.
She also said that George named his first son Fred (awww) but we are not told who his wife is.
Harry Potter and Ron end up working as Auror and Hermoine works very high up in the magical law department
and yes i think itz stupid that she left this info out of the books
In one interview Rowling says he was working with Ron. In another she says he joined the Auror department.
I guess he first worked with Ron at the joke shop then they joined the Auror department.
PS: one of the chats is here:

I think this opens the flood gates for TONS of fan fiction!!!!
I don't think it's stupid at all.....once V was dead, there was no more story....at least in that arc.
With the epilogue, now we can get the stories of his children!!!
There was an article in the paper about Rowling's interview with the Washington Post. She says Harry went on to become an auror. Ginny pursued her athletic career and played in the ________ Harpies quidditch team and later married Harry after retiring. Ron joined George in his business at the shop. Hermione continued her work for other magical creatures' rights in the Ministry. Luna became a field researcher of exotic magical creatures and later married the grandson of one of their textbook authors. Neville took over Madam Pomfrey's job at Hogwarts.
it is just a set of books about someones life and what happens to them thats it about the harry potter and his friends end up with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
