I pictured Hermione to go into the MOM - and someday become 
Minister.  I think she would be well suited as she is
diplomatic and at the same time opinionated.  And she wants to change 
the injustices of the world - and what bigger injustices (after 
Voldemort is gone) are there beyond SPEW and the treatment of 
mudbloods/muggles - both things she can relate to. 

hg:
I have pictured her as a sort of public defender or an activist for 
creature/being rights. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, a 
social conscience, and (so far) a blatant disregard for what the 
creatures she is trying to help want or think. The house elves are a 
prime example of this.

She can be extremely empathetic (like with Neville in GoF)but this 
can often be overshadowed by her logic. Once she has reached a 
conclusion, she cannot drop it and see anybody else's point of view. 
That awful socratic dialogue she puts Lavender thru on the death of 
her rabbit trying to disprove Trelawney is a perfect example.
