Depending on her personal presence, she might want to consider training
as a career.  There is a tremendous need for people who can do essentially
what is explained in the manuals, and then show other people how to do
it too.  You would be really amazed how many people there are out there,
in charge of their departments or work-pools, who cannot make a directory
and put the appropriate files in it: a lady friend makes a second income
out of doing not much more than that for half a dozen schools and offices.
