In my mind, many wizards are educated at either muggle elementary 
schools or home(well, the British equivalent; the terminology 
confuses me).  Squibs who attended muggle school would probably join 
the muggle world when they failed to receive an invitation to 
Hogwarts.  Those who were educated at home seem would not appear to 
receive much more education.  The only Squib we know of holds a job 
which does not require higher education.  So I'd assume that squibs 
that choose not to leave the wizarding world eventually end up in 
jobs like this.

I oppose arguments that say squibs are common.  We only know of one.  
The existance of Kwikspell doesn't really imply that there are many 
squibs, only that a few were desperate enough that someone saw a way 
to make some easy money.  I don't think Stan or Ernie from the Knight 
Bus are squibs.  Every society has its underachievers as well as 
overachievers.  These two simply were either unable to handle or 
didn't want a more magic-intensive job.
