It's pretty apparent to me that Hermione's future lies in Healing.

She desires something "worthwhile," and although she says she wants to take 
S.P.E. W. to the next step, I see this as adolescent fumbling.  Which is NOT to 
say that she's wrong (is Hermione ever wrong??), just young.

She has the essence of murtlap ready for Harry's hand when he comes back 
from one of his awful detentions with Dolores--OotP.  I remember that she 
always helps Neville (scouring charm after Snape detention--GoF,  counter-
jinx for a Slytherin hex--SS).  No one can deny that Hermione is set for at least 
an "E" on the all important O.W.L.'s for Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and 
Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is the bare minimum for the N.E.W.T.S. 
required to be a healer.  Not to mention, she has spent some time in the 
hospital wing , so she can appreciate what's required!

And hey, the muggle parents are dentists!   St. Mungo's,  please welocme 
Hermione Granger!
