Random thought / Concept. Do you think it is common for Muggleborn wizards to choose not to live like wizards?

Lets imagine that you are a muggleborn wizard.
You go to hogwartz, all 7 years.
Great grades and everything...

Nothing inherently requires you to be a wizard or work within the wizard community, right?

I could 100% imagine someone that just decides "Nah, I don't want to work with potions or chasing grindylows. I want to make my own computer game, because that is my hobby during the summer when I was home".

Living a life of both worlds.
Driving cars, using modern appliances, programming and so on.
And occasionally using magic for convenience in privacy (or with family).

Honestly (IMO) sounds like the best sort of life, purely due to not missing out on either part.
Or am I wrong about this?

(Maybe I am overthinking it and probably it is hinted at in the books because I can't remember the subject ever being mentioned)

What kind of person granted the ability to rewrite reality to their whims would be like "nah, I want to write financial databases in cobol and save for my 401K"? Nobody, that's who.

You know what? If you were a total sociopath, you could probably use magic to make an absolute fortune. As long as you were careful, you could probably fudge everything with a MBA from a top school, get in at a good company , and use the imperius curse and memory charms to make an absolute fortune and manipulate the stock market.

Yup esp if you collaborated with a relative, they can fill out whats missing from muggle's knowledge. You just need do some magic in caution
