James' Occupation

Hello all,
   I was flipping through some old clippings I'd collected of Harry 
Potter articles earlier on today, and I came across a small 
interview with J.K.Rowling in an old copy of the Shropshire Star (our 
local paper). In it a question was asked about James' occupation 
(something we're all dying to find out about, I'm sure) and she 
replied by saying; 
    "Well I can't go into too much detail, because you're going to 
find out in future books. But James inherited plently of money, so he 
didn't need a well-paid profession. You'll find out more about both 
Harry's parents later." 
   This was published on Thursday November 8th 2001 in the Shropshire 
Star. What do you think? Any thoughts on what this job could be?
  I apologise to all those who knew this info already, I was just so 
excited to discover this!
   Darla.
