Here's my thoughts on what the post-TG careers of certain characters might be (assuming that they survive and that Avi's view of the future doesn't come true):
Nynaeve: helping rebuild Malkier
Elayne: spends most of the next 20-25 years ruling Andor and Cairhien, with a little dabbling in *greal study. Then, when her daughter is grown, married and has produced an heir or two, Elayne steps down as queen. She then can devote herself to study and production of *greals and on the side, becomes a permanent Arbiter of Succession Rights for the inevitable future occasions when there's doubt about the proper successor to the throne.
Egwene: continues being Amyrlin for the next couple or three centuries, casting particular terror into the poor novices/Accepted/exchange students who have to study dreamwalking under her supervision.
Moiraine/Thom: become roving spies for the Amyrlin Seat, keeping a close eye on the intrigues of the various royal courts of Randland.
Morgase/Tallanvor: Morgase becomes Elayne's Regent in Cairhein, running things on a day-to-day basis when Elayne can't be there.
Siuan/Gareth: Siuan becomes Elayne's Aes Sedai advisor and also serves as the Tower's official liaison to the Kin. One of her duties as liaison would be to help the Kin search out new candidates for the Tower.

I personally think there is (at least for a good 5 to 10 year period) that civilization will be too focused on the recovery aspect of after the last battle. With the Aiel alone "a remnant of a remnant" (I know some of that has been picked away by them throwing their spears away after facing their past) will be all thats left, and from a combat stand point, they are some of the best fighters around. I think that the Last Battle is gonna take a while to get over with. (maybe not Rand and the DO, but all the trollocs dark friends, etc.) I could conceivably see most of Randland in ruins; starting both the borderlands and Andor? Your probably right though long term, I'm also more interested in what happens for the ten years or so when everyone is till trying to pick up the pieces.
On another topic real quick... How ironic would it be that in order for Rand to succeed in the Last Battle, Moraine had to do something that got her killed (again)? Come on, tell me that wouldn't annoy everyone! Sorry it just popped in my head.

I'm wondering if The Song won't have some factor in reforming the Aiel
