Well, there is also banking.  I believe "curse breaking" is a WW equivalent 
for investment banking.  It might be quite lucrative as it apparently 
involves tomb robbing and "bringing home [to the bank] lots of 
treasure."  There is probably also a living to be made inventing and 
marketing new magical potions and gizmos.  How about magical 
construction?  Someone needs to build and repair wizard homes and 
buildings.  There are apparently manufacturing type jobs, as there are 
firms that mass produce brooms.  There are entrepreneurs like Ali Bashir 
trying to (illegally) import flying carpets.  I think there is a wide range 
of potential WW jobs.
