What would Ron Weasley’s ideal career be?

Oh boy, I don’t have one ideal career for him – well I have one, but…

I
completely headcanon Ron as a big softie and a family man foremost. He
loves his children. So in a way, him leaving the Aurors to become a
stay-at-home dad, and working with George so he has more stable work
hours while Hermione is away at the Wizengamot really makes sense to me.
I love myself a Dad!Ron who reads the kids bedtime stories and bakes
the best cakes and takes the little ones on broomrides.

But
I also love myself Ron as a successful writer with his great
imagination and love of wizarding fairy tales. I love myself Ron as a
Quidditch star who never lets a Quaffle in. I love myself Ron as a
teacher in Hogwarts, always with a Chocolate Frog in his pocket and who
makes his students learn through fun and laughter. I love myself Ron as a
badass Auror who captures the Death Eaters who’ve murdered so many
innocents. I love myself Ron as a Healer who feels such compassion and
has so much empathy that his medical spells are almost considered works
of art. I love myself Ron as a Wizarding Chess champion who teaches his
kids how to play and tears up in pride when Rosie manages to defeat him
one day. I love myself Ron as a toymaker who Transfigures and Charms the
products he makes so the children who buy them will never feel lonely
or overlooked.

Basically: give me Ron being awesome and successful and standing out
from the dreams of others, showing Harry and Hermione and the whole Wizarding World how much of a boss he is, then retiring so he can knit sweaters for
his kids because caring for his family is what this man does best.
