[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wanted to add a couple of thoughts. First, there are some great training programs (corporate, like Mariott), high schools, and community college programs for hospitality services. The hospitality industry is really great in terms of teaching a set of organizational and management skills to people who are personable and relatively motivated. I credit my decade of working at hotels and banks to creating a good work ethic. And a set of skills you can use anywhere. Next, how about enrolling her with a temp agency so that she could try out a bunch of different job settings? Not all will be winners but she might click with something. In addition, she might enjoy an apprenticeship/training program, your local community college might have some references. 
I also think, as much as possible, that you shouldn't worry too much about her. She sounds like a charming young woman who may need a little help figuring out what makes her happy, but that's it. The worries about making money as a divorcee in 20 years is so far down the road (and unlikely to come to pass) that it does no good to think about them now.[/quote]
