Adam:

"Finally, what about potions? A good potionsmaster is probably highly
regarded. As long as you get your hands on the right ingredients, you
should be able to make the potion, right? Or, if not, if being made
by a non-magical person renders the potion defunct... then a good job
might be as a potionmaster's assistant - jumping in and nulling the
potion when things go wrong!"
Notice that in Potions they stir with their wands.  The impression I get is that
this is how one charges the potion with magical energy to make it effective.
Granted, a Squib could be a Potioners Assistant--collecting and preparing the
ingredients, and the like. 
Remember that Slughorn recalled a Potioner named Granger, and wondered if
Hermione were a descendant.  What if the potioner had produced a Squib son who
was indeed Hermione's great-grandfather?  Hermione's father was a dentist, which
requires a strong background in science, and Optioned is the closest thing that
the WW has to a scientist.
