One of the key elements of the HP series is the sense of mystery and
suspense that JKR creates. That sense of uncertainly that keeps you
turning the pages and reading on desperate to find out what happens next. 

If she flat out said Ron and/or Harry and/or Hermione and/or
Dumbledore and/or Hagrid and/or Snape was going to live and/or die, a
big element of that suspense that keeps us reading would be lost. So,
at this point, JKR is just keeping us guessing. 

As far as Harry's future and career, I think when this is all over
with, Harry is going to be sick and tired of fighting and struggle.
For the first time in his life, he is going to want some peace and quiet. 

Fortunately, a wise investment early on will leave him with enough
on-going wealth that he will not have to work. He will be able to
pursue what ever endevors appeal to him at any given moment. He may
even focus on philanthropic endevors like looking after other wizard
children who have grown up abuse or underpriveledged; very noble of him.

The early on investment, of course, is Weasley Wheezes, that I predict
will grow into Weasley Enterprises as the Twins become more suscessful
eventually branching out into other areas of business; food &
beverages, clothes, entertainment, sports, etc..... Eventually growing
into one of the largest most prominent magical businesses in all of
Europe. 

So, given his large share of Weasley Enterprises, Harry will be rich
enough that he doesn't have to struggle with such mundane things as a
job. He can live a quiet life, and pursue the safe sane leisurely
activities of his choice.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
