SSSusan:
It seems to me there are many options:
run a business
practice law [though providing a school transcript in order to get  
    into law school could be tricky...]
establish a manufacturing plant or just work in one
be a carpenter or other manual laborer
be an ice cream man [Rupert Grint's personal favorite :-)]
farm
work in sales or customer service
teach
do research for a drug company
run a post office which surreptitiously provides WW mail service, too
be a clerical worker

To me the list is endless.  It all hinges upon being willing to not 
use your magic -- which I *do* think is possible, especially for 
adult witch/wizards -- or to mask it or to work solo or even to work 
with other magical "Muggles" so that you use magic behind closed 
doors.  If the witch/wizard has decided to return to the Muggle 
World, one can assume a willingness to leave the magic behind or to 
hide it.

There are a lot of Muggle occupations which don't require advanced 
degrees, and for those which do, since Muggles also have to continue 
their educations anyway, it wouldn't be weird for someone their age 
to be continuing on.  The hardest part would be producing that 
transcript....
