Erin:
Die?  Possibly.  But remember, the bad luck of the job is supposedly 
the result of a jinx, and Bill just happens to have been a curse 
breaker.  If anyone had a chance to break that jinx and stay in the 
job, it would be Bill.

As for what Potioncat said about banking paying better than teaching, 
who knows?  The wizarding world may value its educators more than the 
muggle one.  I think, however, that if Bill takes up teaching, it 
will be because sometyhing has happened to his banking job-- 
something like a goblin rebellion.

And Bill not liking Snape?  That would be a refreshing change for the 
DADA teacher-- usually it's Snape who starts out with a grudge, 
except for Crouch Jr./Moody.
