A lot will depend on her aptitude and inclination. It sounds like you’re thinking that software is a likely direction. If she’s looking at college, a computer science degree will give her a lot of options. There are also two year and technical schools with similar curricula.

If she goes that route, there are many different types of work. Writing software is the obvious one, but there’s technical project management, engineering management, etc. Again, depends on where her interest lies.

One great thing about being a woman in tech is that it offers great job security and growth potential. For whatever reason there is a real dearth of women in the field, so if she’s good, she’ll be highly sought after.
